We just had this discussion at APWG session at RIPE87 meeting in Roma - we could start doing allocations just on the nibble boundaries, therefore if they can prove that they have 512 million *connected* customers to which they plan to delegate a prefix of /48 - then they can have /16 :) But I doubt that a bank will ever have that number of connected customers (not just customers with the bank account ;) )...
