If I wake this device up and my wife happens to rattle off our bank name and account number, is that information sent to Google to help improve their device's voice recognition? I am major worried about things like this with these devices null

When you wake it up and then say something, it will submit that information as if you were doing a Google search on it. There is a site that lets you see and hear everything it recorded, what it thought you said, and how it responded. You can then delete anything or everything you've said from your history.

the voice listening is only activated if you say the keywords "hey google"... so just don't say "hey google, my back account number is... "

Also there is an additional safety feature, on the back of the device there is a button to turn off active listening. 
Additionally, you can review and delete voice command history on your google account.

Once you say Hey Google, it will record and it gets stored on the Google Account associated with the device. Google does allow you to not only see what it has but delete it. They also added a H/W mute to prevent the device from recording. But yes they do store this information and use it.

Probably would be listening and it would be stored somewhere

It would not help improve their device's voice recognition, but it might improve their bank account balance.
