Australian Banks are fucking useless

[CunningStunt]

How am I supposed to know who's paid me what? These are the only details given:

4 Aug 2010 DEPOSIT 0109724 $943.89
4 Aug 2010 DEPOSIT 0109720 $926.18
4 Aug 2010 DEPOSIT 0109719 $256.45
4 Aug 2010 DEPOSIT 0109717 $1,513.51
3 Aug 2010 DEPOSIT 0104876 $293.68
3 Aug 2010 DEPOSIT 0104718 $1,505.34

The bank refuses to do anything that isn't automated. They say the payee needs to put info in a certain field in the processing forms, which I've found out don't match the way most US banks do it.

So even asking sponsors to put the details in, which I've confirmed they do, the lazy gits at the banks here just ignore all the details.

The money is transferred from US$ to AUS$ and fluctuates on an a daily basis, trying to keep track of payments is a nightmare.

This is why I invested in Briana Banks

I use Commonwealth, Westpac and Citibank in Sydney. Commonwealth shows who sent the wire and the Oz$ amount....then a few days later i get by snail mail the full details. Westpac not as good and Citibank Australia seem to tell customers as little as possible

Not bad for a couple days earnings. That's US dollars?

Yes they are!

Yep and the checks take 3-4 weeks to get cleared. So you can't win either way.

Tell me about it. My first NastyDollars cheque back in 2002 took over 5 weeks to clear - they have to send it back to the US for clearance or some BS!

Everything at all possible I get wired now, Westpac take up to half an hour to put a damn cheque in.

I have to get on with that Tube project soon Zorgman, I still have 3 unused licences of yours! lol. It might be better to give you the server login details and ask you to do it, I'm swamped!

[Zorgman]

Sure mate, just email me the details.

I remember back in 2003 when I was depositing 5-10 checks a day. It was crazy. The tellers hated me and most checks had "adult" written on them too. I remember one was for $25 and from a company or site called something like "I want to be a pornstar". The teller looked at me and said "pornstars don't get much these days". I think she figured I fucked for $25.. lol

But the 4 week waiting period is a joke, but due to fraud it works, it just takes a long time. Thank god for Epassporte.

Lol, I have binned so many cheques, they are not worth my time standing in a bank queue, and my wife refuses to do it.

Signing up for dozens and dozens of programs as a noob back in the day didn't work out. I soon learned to focus on a few programs, and to set the min payouts to at least $500.

I'll hit you up when I've registered some domains. Cheers
