I'm not sure how the old 4.x issues MySQL had have been solved, but I 
most likely wouldn't go near MySQL on a financial application, basically 
because in some situations MySQL did things that it shouldn't (trying to 
insert an invalid value for example).

Performance in a transactional environment is another issue.
