ASalaamu alaikum! I have worked in the banking business and in auditing in the past. From what you've described, your job seems halal. It may be a bit stressful dealing with the banking industry as a whole and their snake practices and the people who may be non-Muslim. Unfortunately, in America, we are in the belly of the beast (so to speak). Thank subhanAllah for allowing you to be productive and for being able to pray salat at work. Ask Allah to guide you and protect you from the Shaytan.
But you will be even more stressed if you up and quit your job, not having means to support your family. Keep your job for now and while seeking guidance from Allah, begin looking for other work. You may get that international transfer that you've been wanting.
As far as seeking advice about quitting a job, be careful with that because some people make Islam difficult and will tell you to quit your job. Trust me, they are not going to help you find another or help you care for your family. As soon as I reverted, I had older Muslim sisters telling me that working is haram and that I should immediately quit my job and rely only on my husband. These same women, I have helped them find employment and other opportunities, but they wanted to deny me a means to live and support myself and my family.
