[IxDA Discuss] Ruby on Rails in Financial Services Applications

[Mike Brown]

Not my experience, but I know of PlanHQ <http://www.planhq.com>, which 
has just launched and is written in Ruby on Rails.

It's primarily for business planning, although has a financial services 
component, and they're obviously comfortable with the security aspects 
of RoR.
