Open market operations allow central banks great flexibility in the timing and volume of monetary operations at their own initiative, encourage an impersonal, businesslike relationship with participants in the marketplace, and provide a means of avoiding the inefficiencies of direct controls.

The fee is an acknowledgement that it takes dollars to operate and improve IT operations, and the users are going to pick up part of the tab.
