I confess, I am ignorant in this area. I tried to google how banks such as CBA, NAB, etc "hold their money" and couldn't find an answer. I was trying to think of how ISX is different than a traditional bank when what goes through ISX when taking deposits/payments electronically rather than over the counter.
Say I make a deposit in the US to go into my bank account at CBA in AU, is this just an accounting transaction between the central banks (US & AU) and then an accounting transaction for me at the CBA - i.e. an e-transaction? Surly, there is no real money going back and forth and not "real" money until I go to the bank to pick it up or get change at Woolies?
Happy to become more educated in this area.

Used to be DR and CR correspondent bank and to balance it they write a check. This you do it at clearing house. Long time ago not sure if its done like this anymore. I did do that once in my youth. Just chuck bundles of checks across the room to the Other banks clerk just making sure which bank.
