Not sure (except for the marketing talk that other online trading providers have good research and trading platform) why anyone should pay around $30 per trade, when you can do that for $13.50 (with NRMA rebate) with Bell Direct. I find their site pretty ok and with an iPhone App to do trades on the move, it meets my requirements… (I can't trade overseas shares though..)
