Got a 7.1 update for the Fast Balance app today. It adds iPhone 5 support too. Really happy
No, I pointed out that the banks who the OP claimed werent updated, actually are.
And that the deadline isnt for what people think. Could be 3 or 4 months past that date that your bank gets around to updating.
Banks have to be very careful when updating software. Old versions of their software have to continue to work; you don't want a customer still using an iPhone 3G to not be able to use the software.
They move very slowly not just due to laziness, but because their apps require extensive testing (this is moving money we're talking about) and they don't want to alienate customers on older hardware. Notice that updates that don't obsolete older devices (like enhancing for the taller iPhone 5 screen) tend to come relatively quick.
There will be updates eventually, just give it time. As long as the apps work, that's all that matters when it comes to banking.

Having worked for years in the financial industry for banks and others..
They are cheap and lazy. They had plenty of time to update just like everyone else including months of iOS 7 beta's to work with. Many of them outsourcer their mobile app development which doesn't help. The security requirements and methods aren't anything other apps don't do that get updated more quickly and not all banks are taking forever to update.

Banks tend to update to new technology slowly due to all the security and IT infrastructure they are focused on.
BOA got updated last night. It looks pretty nice and has some added functionality. Fidelity app was updated several weeks ago.
