We use this company to transfer money to our US account...guaranteed no charges, and you generally get a better rate than on the high street because they are buying in bulk, so they get bank rates. They are offering 1.83 right now (updated hourly). Once in the US we just use our US debit cards, so no conversion required. If you are not constrained by time and just want to get the best rate for your money, they will do rate-triggered trsnafers also.
