Has any bank announced they plan on supporting it?

    Not yet. It was only officially released for testing in Switzerland in May of this year.

    This release is a special milestone, as with it we are ready to launch our operation in Switzerland. Starting today, Taler Operations AG is legally operating the GNU Taler payment system in Swiss Francs open to individuals and businesses in Switzerland.

    I don't know how it went / is going, but given that it's a privacy respecting payment system, I do hope it will gain some traction in the opensource world - even if just for testing. If non-governmental projects started using it as a testbed for their payment integrations, it could have a big impact as a default. But I'm not a project owner nor have any financial experience, so I can't lead the charge on this.
