I might be wrong, but no one other than banks (if that) can use ripple.

nah, anyone can buy Ripple and have a Ripple wallet. Only thing you can't do is mine Ripple.

AFAIK Ripple is pre-mined ("minted") and the creator(s) controls >50% of it.

The problem is that Ripple is bought via Bitcoin.

Tinfoil in me says that bank created Ripple just to get easy Bitcoin.
