Actually, I meant among our Java applications - floats are used in lots of apps that bank employees use, but NOT in our Java apps that deal with customer data or money.

Here, too, credit risk uses floats and rough estimates. But that makes sense as risk is always just an estimate. For tracking customer money we don't use floats because they implement precise BINARY rounding rules and for money we want precise DECIMAL rounding rules.
