I'm partly just hoping that this actually forces Access to get their ASX
service up and going finally - they seem to have been avoiding the issue for a
while, but they can't anymore.

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.

Sorry about this Ben :)
For those of you
who do a lot of trading on ASX, then Quicken NZ's new brokerage service
is looking pretty good:
Flat rate ASX trades of AUD$29 flat fee up to
$10,000, then 0.4% thereafter. Full online purchase/sell facilities, so
no emails or phone calls required. They also cater for stop losses,
etc.
Also, for NZSE trading, a flat rate fee of NZ$24.95 for trades
up to $10,000 (better than Access, my current broker, who have yet to get
ASX webbroker service off the ground), then 0.4% thereafter. Same online
facilities as for ASX trading.
I still haven't checked out your
facility Ben, but Quicken looking
very good.
Cheers
