PenFed has the lowest international wire transfer fees that I have found. But it's still like 30 outgoing, I think it's almost impossible to get lower than that with a personal account that doesn't have like a million in it.

Sorry, I could have written that a lot more clearly: I found a remittance company that gives a better rate than any of the banks seem to, and they've got an intermediary bank in the US they use to accept transfers, so it'd be domestic transfers I'm looking at rather than international.

Sending Funds From Your PenFed Account to Another Financial Institution
To wire funds from your PenFed account to another financial institution, please contact a Member Service Representative at 800 247-5626. You will need to provide your account number at the other financial institution as well as their ABA routing number. Keep in mind that PenFed charges $20 for a domestic wire transfer and $30 for an international wire transfer. Other fees may apply at the receiving financial institution.

That's 5 dollars per wire cheaper than anywhere else I've seen. Is it worth it to you to ACH money to them to wire it out though..since their ATM usage isn't reimbursed etc
