Curious - crypto mining processes transactions, right? How does the electricity usage compare to a data center used by a large bank?

Obviously the bank can do things in a much less computationally intensive way, but my point is would this happen if a bank decided to use some computationally heavy process in its data center to make its transactions more secure and it used the same amount of power?
