I am also not worried about $5k / month in MO's... I already do much more than that across several banks... And I don't care to tread even further beyond where I'm at in that regard.

Just to follow-up on my own post earlier, as heyeaglefn also wrote, RR did work for Emerald using T-M, with $500/transaction max @ $3.74 fee.
As a side note, used NW Buxx to RR another $499 to same Emerald.

I don't quite understand why would someone pay $3.74 to "transfer" money from T-M to Emerald. With T-M you can do a CA at the bank up to $500 for a $2 fee, or get CB at the store, or you can do BP or MO.... Why to make things more complicated and involve Emerald?
Because you can do BP from Emerald?? Wow! I'm lost!
