Ah, mergeritis.
See, your local bank with 10,000 customers might be OK with keeping a meg of data online for you and sifting through it for what you want to see. That's ten gigs of reliable online storage - not too bad.
Then your bank gets bought by another bank which gets bought by another bank until there are three banks in the country, each with a hundred million customers. Then the bank has a hundred terabyte database to keep online and search through. Others have mentioned the follies of doing this with current technology - it's expensive and very hard. So they don't.
Then they can offer better rates than the local banks because they've just axed the IT/customer service budget. So more people dump the local banks because all they see is rates.
The government refers to this as productivity.
