Check the statistics page in wiki [1]

It's rock solid!

Of course!

Now, seriously.

Regarding stability: we try to make BaseX as stable as possible. However, it's a complex system
and there might be bugs. On the other hand, the core dev team is very small and we are concentrated
on features/bugs which we consider critical. Therefore, if you or the organization which you represent
want a certain feature/fix, you are welcome to contribute either with code patches or financially.
If you give us more detail about how you intend to use BaseX, maybe we could give you more detail
if it will work and what difficulties you might face.

Regarding safety: I'm not sure what you mean with "safe for financial institutions". BaseX does not
contain malicious code, but again you'll have to elaborate a little bit more on what requirements you
have.
