Your system definition for BANK-MATCH must /depend/ on CL-PPCRE:

  (asdf:defsystem :bank-match
    ...
    :depends-on (:cl-ppcre))

One day I will write a website about this...

Systems (that's what third-party libraries like ASDF are about) and
packages (first-class objects defined by the ANSI standard) are not
the same thing, in fact they are orthogonal concepts.  You cannot load
anything with a DEFPACKAGE form.
