Well the Swedish banks are pretty much the worst I've encountered anywhere, while the government is comparatively efficient (tax returns are very easy, apply for parental leave etc.). So yes please don't let the banks control it.

In their defense: They used to be pretty good, before international money laundering became a giant thing. After recent regulations there are very few reasons for why they would want to accept foreign customers. Just too much risk.

I agree that something needs to be done.

They have been innovative in the past:

1996/1997: Mass adoption of two-factor hardware devices providing secure authentication for online banking.

2003: Leveraging the two-factor hardware devices to create BankID.
