I have. My former bank disallowed reusing any of your previous passwords, and also did "clever" things like flagging you for using sequences of characters from your old passwords as well.

All provisos that revealed that they were storing passwords (including old passwords) in plain text, because there's no way they'd be able to make those determinations if they were irreversibly hashing passwords correctly.

TL;DR: They're no longer my bank.
