Have two large payments coming up to companies which only accept EFT. Anyone got a solution for Amex payment to EFT? Sounds like pay.com.au might but they also state you need an ABN to create an account.

How does the dragon workaround (if someone could PM me details?) direct to ATO compare to amex Plat Charge via someone like RewardPay? Higher fee charged for the Amex on RP, but higher points earn rate if I understand correctly.
