One of the reasons I opened an account with HSBC UK earlier this year. You can transfer up to a max of £50,000 a day for £4 per transfer using their on-line banking service. There is also the option of transferring sterling or converting it to whatever local currency it's going to. Certainly at the moment it's better transferring sterling as the rate is much better here. Also my Thai bank (SCB) doesn't charge any commission.
