For a long time, banking hours (and almost everything else) were highly regulated. I think a lot of bankers just like keeping "banker's hours" (why else would they call it that!?) and kept on keeping on.
Plus, although we may feel that banking is a consumer service, most of their bucks come through business-to-business, so extending hours would involve a significant cost for a relatively small portion of their revenue.
Or that's my theory, anyway, and I'm sticking to it until someone smarter comes along.
