Nationalized banks with universal service obligations do/did exist. Even for a private bank it's pretty sweet deal though, practically every kid in Australia for the last 50 years got a savings account from ours, even though it was fully privatized 20 years ago many of us still use the same account, they've made some massive profits from that obligation.
