Good one Mark.  This certainly looks very comprehensive.
Access & Direct will need to work fast to upgrade their systems
otherwise I can see Quicken scooping the pot. I see DFMainland are the NZ
broker.  I like the simplicity of joining - no extra Bank Account
requirements for NZ and the facility to open an Australian account.

I use Quicken's accountancy package which can be linked to the Market
which is an added advantage.

Again, sorry Ben, but it is a competitive marketplace.
I should be getting commission from Quicken for this plug :>)

Disclosure:  Have used Access for many years, but not online as yet.
I did email Peter Hansen
(Marketing Manager) a while ago suggesting their site might be falling
behind and he told me they are in the process of upgrading their
facilities.
