Nice organisational simplicity would be to simply not have any special rules for the unvaccinated in the first place

That's a matter for a different organisation. For many different organisations, if the organisation is a large one.

If you organise a departmental meeting where n people travel to meet, perhaps once every month or year, the organisations that set the rules for that locale matters, not just your own. If you send some people to take part in a course at a vendor, the vendor sets rules. If you send people to a customer, the customer's rules apply.

Each large company has basically three options:

1. Apply any unvaccinated-only rules to everyone, always. This is simple in principle, but can be bothersome in execution.

2. Require that everyone be vaccinated and don't bother about unvaccinated-only rules. This is also simple in principle, but hard on those who won't get a vaccine.

3. Keep track of who's who and what rules apply to each employee on an individual level.

Other options exist in theory, e.g. "we'll close the shop in any jurisdictions that introduce any rules that apply only to the unvaccinated" but I dare say that this isn't realistic for even a medium-sized company, far less for one as large as this bank. Large companies have to accept that different rules apply depending on jurisdiction. Ditto for e.g. hotels when finding meeting space for a departmental get-together.

How about a rule like: Don't bring Covid to work/work events. Seems a lot more aligned with the presumed goals.

If banks simply refused to implement stupid and ineffective rules, no government is going to shut them down.
