i've used ofx quite a lot for international transfers. they are much faster than a normal international transfer from your bank. instead it ends up being a local transfer on either end which just works a heck of a lot quicker. they also claim lower exchange rates. in the past we have compared and sometimes found them lower and sometimes found them a little higher. their fees certainly are lower though. only thing is i think there was a lag setting up the account initially (they need to contact you by phone), so if you're in a hurry this may be problematic. and yes, you will need internet banking to do this. since the question is specifically about how to do this in the cheapest way possible, i think the answer is to use internet banking.
