@kaia I think how it works is the Banks charge businesses 1.5%–3% fees for all transactions done on the device that uses paypass. So if the device comes from CommBank, CommBank makes a bank off of transactions from all businesses using their Passpass machine (despite no costs or very limited costs involved— just a way to make money— in business parlance, efficiency).
So, the businesses, to keep them sustainable, pass those charges on to us, either through fees or increased product prices.

@QCCEChris handling cash also costs money though - counting, dropping off at bank, getting change etc
