Note that having a third party bank account as the settlement account for these platforms could see you attract a higher brokerage fee.
For example, not using Westpac's Cash Investment Account or Investment Loan Account as your settlement account could see you charged a higher brokerage of $29.95 or 0.29% (whichever is greater).
Outside the Big 4, other share trading platforms' fees are:
