@pluralistic at this point commerce has evolved such that electronic payment is standard and payment processing shouldn't be a private profit centre, rather than part of government economic operations.
Payment processing should be a utility, run on a cost recovery basis, giving small business a break on those costs. Private operations shouldn't be extracting profit from the basic use of currency.
