All 3 apply to us, I can't see financial instutions moving their systems outside their firewall, but then I've been drmatically wrong in the past.

I read "100% reliable security" as a reason for moving to the cloud (at least how the question was asked).
I was tempted to pick it just for a laugh, cause putting all your data out there on the web for a 3rd party to take care of sounds secure to me.
