Did I wake up in 1995, or is the SAAQ restricting my choices to two banks in Quebec?

I can renew my license plates online with a credit card, but for some reason, they seem to want to force me to either waste paper and a stamp, or to go to their location to pay.

And yes, paying at their location will cost you an extra $3 on top of that $86/year driver’s license.

Are they doing maintenance at that time? Is their network so weak that it crashes on Thursdays when people get paid? Do they run Windows on their ATM’s and have to disable them while they deploy a security fix?

How is someone supposed to trust having access to their money if needed when the banks are closed and the ATM’s crash all the time?
