MySQL and derivatives are DB systems which are used mainly by websites, small or big. Although I did have some customers back in the day at MariaDB in payment systems but they are generally aware of the complexity and are able to retrace any errors, financial institutions will often use commercial database systems and/or have some transaction processing and checking in place.
That may have been true 20 years ago, but I don't think it is still true today. Over the past decade I have worked with many financial institutions who use MySQL and MariaDB in production environments to handle all kinds of non-website workloads, including payment processing.
