I'm reminded of the Irish Bank Strike, where the banks threw a hissy fit about some law and decided to close until it was repealed.
Life went on pretty much as normal, with pub owners becoming the new arbiters of credit worthiness, and eventually the banks had to give up.
That's actually pretty smart because if someone has no money for booze, then you know they've really got no money
Plus, at the time, the pub owners basically knew everybody in town even if they didn't know each other.
