Yup, seems all banks will charge that. PC Financial said they wouldn't, but I don't believe them. =)

But I've had an awful time funding my account. I use a prepaid MC for which I receive no paper statement. They made a small confirmation charge to my MC in GBP, shows up as as $CA.

I hear you. I think I had to eventually call my bank and ask for the actual transfer amount, in its original currency. They should have a record of that. At first I tried to reverse-engineer the amount based on the transaction day's exchange rate, but I've since learned that MB uses a mystical, magical conversion rate that is different from what everyone else in the world uses.

Halcyon, Ecocard is available to Canadians, but they charge $30 to transfer funds, and I would expect the bank would charge the same $14 fee to receive the wire.

$30, ow. Sometimes I have to wonder if it's not just easier to deposit it all in a casino, then just pay whatever their slightly less exorborant cheque fee may be.
tombee: I believe my transactions took in the order of weeks, not days. Grab a sandwich. =)
heatherad: I'll check out Instadebit, thanks.
