That means that scammers, if they are actually buying the domain name they are using, basically have free choice from a pool of reasonably professional looking domains. -

As far as I know, they handle mostly leasing and car loans, but I think they also offer more common banking services.
So yes, GmbH banks are uncommon, but they do exist.
