<i>Possible Australianism - netbank = a website + app by which an Aussie can do their banking, including transferring money to other people.</i><p>Definitely Australian. 'Netbank' is the proprietary name given to internet banking by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. I use it myself, its interface is very simple to use.<p>Money transfer to other bank accounts can be via Direct Credit to 'anyone', even to foreign bank accounts. Company Invoices can be paid using that same system or by a slightly separate system called BPay.<p>Paying money by cheque is now practically non-existent in Australia. I don't think I have written one in several years.
