Marvellous! It sounds like many Aussie banks have a "spend" feature. That being the case, surely the question is answered --- there can be no better way, I can think of (can anyone think of a theoretically better way?) to pay a exchange provider, in Australia, than by such "spend" (item) if you're using e-gold, you are web-savvy and have a web browser, so you can use the web system to do a "spend" from your ANZ account to the MM's ANZ account (item) it would not seem onerous for an Aussie xchange provider to have three or four bank accounts at the major banks. What could be better?
