Do banks using third-party cloud services just trust that the provider won't abuse their data? Do they actually store financial data there, or just use them for front-end stuff like websites?


The trust will come from very stringent contracts (beyond the regular contracts that other customers would use), third-party certifications that the provider achieves, and the provider being covered by certain aspects of the regulations that cover banks (or healthcare or whatever).


Most of the cloud providers are PCI compliant: https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/pci-dss-level-1-faqs/
