I totally agree and the way Aussies are forced into using the banks was one of the first things I noticed when I moved back here from the US.

The banks are getting a cut from every transaction , it's like a tax paid to private companies.

I have one bank account, HSBC, that gives back 1% of any sales by card. They still make a profit.
