The BSB pops upas Central Credit Union so at least thus far is OK. Let me know, one way or tuther, asap. Jacques,

Tried to reply by email but don't have the appropriate security code (or something!). Anyway, went back and checked my account and after confirming the transfer and debiting it to my account on the 24th, two days later the bank (CBA) unwound it and charged me $2.50 for the privilege. Gawd. I suspect from Christopher's comment it has to do with the account name (I too used Troppo). I'll try again now with Jacques Chester. Let me know if that doesn't work.

For all those who it failed, I would suggest sending the bank a letter detailing the problem, insisting the details were correct (give every detail you have including dates, receipt number etc.). Mention the banking ombudsman and the fees should be reimbursed quick smart. You may even get an apology. The worst thing that could happen is that they actually have to earn the fee they have already charged you. Andrew (Norton),

The money bounced back less than 48 hours later. I've sent other money using this system so there's nothing wrong at this end. Again, the 'explanation' was that the details were invalid. I'd rather send $50 in a letter than let banks on both ends rip out $5 each. Sorry jacques, same thing happened again. The money bounced back less than 48 hours later.
