Before we go cashless, fees need to be 0%. Start by fixing that.

We need to use EFTPOS instead of visa and MasterCard.

0% for banking and spending your own money.

Businesses should just factor merchant fees into sticker price much the same way they would (should?) be factoring in the cost of carrying cash, as consumers we wouldn't even notice. And yes, cash does have a cost (time taken traveling to/from the bank or ATM, risk of loss or theft on the way etc).

Don't pay bank account fees as an individual, please.. there are so many ways to get free banking.
