I'm pretty sure that 1.5% charge is only for deposits by credit card . Every other method of deposit is free. Link

I used Bpay and it was free. From memory, my funds were in my BetFair account 2 business days after I made the Bpay payment online.

I'd definitely recommend giving BetFair a go, though having said that, I'd also then recommend using BetTrader to access and utilise BetFair for it's efficiency, speed and lack of minimum bet. You could snag yourself some pretty ripe prices
on your PPM's...lol.

You'll never look back. Good luck.
