You'd best make that MVS (or more commonly these days zOS). None of
the banks I've worked in have used VMS for critical systems. You often
get Tandem machines handling the ATM system but for the the critical
systems like Signature Imaging, Statements, CHAPS and BACS so so forth
you'll find a IBM mainframe (or clone) running zOS.
