Banking in Australia

First of all sorry for writing this here, guys, but I figured a topic like this could quickly get lost in the Mess Hall/Canteen frenzy.

I'm looking for a bank with an internet service which allows overseas telegraphic transfers. I know St. George definitely has this feature. What about the others - Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, ANZ, etc.? I tried checking their web sites for info on this but they're not very handy (only the St. George one seems to list every feature)...

I would think they all do Conrad. The Commonwealth Bank website is pretty good in general. They should provide a good service for the fees they slug you with in this country.

I use commonwealth and stgeorge internet banking.
Stgeorge you can do an online TT for a $20AUD fee.

Perhaps you can with commonwealth but I haven't figured out how to.

You can do them OTC at a branch and they each charge about a $28 fee.

I checked out the C'wealth online demo and apparently you can't wire funds internationally over the net. St. George looks good though. How many years has it been since they took over Advance Bank?
