I sometimes have to use Western Union for small transfers to SE Asia and at the moment they're doing a free offer for online transfers from a credit/debit card to a bank account.
Obviously you get whipped on their exchange rates but for smaller amounts it can be beneficial compared with paying for a bank transfer or what WU charge to wire cash. It works as advertised as I've used it this week to an account in Indonesia and it cleared in two days.
