They’re slowly transitioning into the type of megacorp you usually only see in science fiction.

Apple isn't technically a bank in this case, but even if they were, it's pretty common and not at all a dystopian sci-fi thing. Sony owns a bank. Hyundai owns a bank. In the US, GM made a bank over a century ago, spun it off in 2006 (it's now called Ally), realized that was a mistake, and bought an existing bank in 2010.
