A while back, I had a major bank in Australia act completely puzzled that I might want a credit/debit card for my 10 year old web business. They appeared to have no offering and couldn't comprehend my need. I was trying to explain that I used it to pay for online services like hosting, domain registration and the like. It was like I was speaking a foreign language.
The only option they mentioned involved keeping thousands of dollars essentially in escrow. The bills I was needing to pay were easily less than that each year, let alone monthly as I paid.
Hearing banks confused by remotely atypical businesses no longer surprises me.
