Just to add to what others already said : You could also invest in making use of your time to create values in other, more 'social' but techy ways.
I also work in a bank, and started spending some of my idle time preparing to organise meetups, invite external speakers, and find ideas that would contribute to tech for everybody. Things like pushing for the start of a tech blog for example. This usually requires finding the right people, know how to convince, and other things you won't get blocked on, while staying on the tech side. Or even spend time writing one pagers on how your company could become more efficient.
Just another perspective. Not everything you can learn has to do with your computer. you could also spend more time with some of your business pips for example and learn more from their processes.
If you really just want to iterate fast and write code all day, maybe your current environment is not the best for you :).
