Sent too soon: use cat, not echo.  Actually that is redundant, too:

#+begin_src sh :var data=excel-from-bank :results output
cmd1 <<EOF | cmd2
$data
EOF
#+end_src

Or even simpler (but that might be a bashism...):

#+begin_src sh :var data=excel-from-bank :results output
cmd1 <<<"$data" | cmd2
#+end_src

And I missed the preview in Erics post, which gave me the clue I was
looking for; the script produced by babel should actually look like
this:

#+begin_src sh
data=$(cat <<'BABEL_STRING'

BABEL_STRING
)
echo "$data"
#+end_src

That is no indentation and the here-tag should be in quotes (otherwise the
here-script is subject to shell expansion).  It's probably possible to
do a contrived redirection and not use a variable to store the data, but
I'm afraid I won't grok this today.
