I was recently (an hour ago) blocked out of my iPad by Apple. I called the tech support number on that screen and was comfortable with the conversation until the tech support asked for my banking information. When I declined to provide that, he ended the conversation quickly. I would like to know if that sounds routine.

You'll certainly be a target for spam by giving them your email address. Expect to see lots more than usual as scammers/spammers sell lists of live addresses to each other.
With your name and email address (an email being a common user name on web sites), they may try to match up these items with the billions of stolen customer data breach databases. That gives them a few parts of what they need to try and hack into your bank account, or wherever you may use these two entries. They only need to try and guess the password.
At minimum, I'd change the passwords on critical accounts immediately.

You almost fell for a scam. Apple will never "block you" out of your iPad. They certainly won't ask for your banking information.

That is bad. I did give my name, email, and zip code. Any protections I need to do?
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Just so you know what happened to your image, it was removed by the hosts because it showed the scammer's phone number.
