I work in a bank and we're currently looking for a new all-encompassing loan and leasing system. The primary candidate, from Sopra, is written in COBOL and runs on an IBM mainframe.
... yup, people buy new COBOL software even today.
PS: I won't have to touch the thing, thank god. I made it pretty clear to my boss I would rather find a new job than to dedicate myself to supporting this monstrosity :)
