Typical reasons for delays,

• HR is slow & lazy and they're in no hurry to get your offer letter ready
• Paperwork is in the pipeline. Many people need to approve your offer before it can be sent to you. People have been on vacation / OOO from late Dec-mid Jan. Your offer is slowly moving through the bank's bureaucracy and probably inefficient HR systems.
• Senior managers who need to sign off on your offer are OOO / hard to reach

It's unlikely your position has been eliminated since they would let you know if that were the case (and if not, I wouldn't ever want to work at a firm which rescinds offers without notice)

So I've been in this situation twice. One time I kept reaching out and it eventually faded without receiving anything. The other took about 2 month to receive a offer. Both were very frustrating and for lateral positions. I don't know what it is about that.
