John, especially for payments outside Germany I subscribed to a mastercard from www.gebuhrenfrei.com
They are really "for free", their business model seems to be: you get your bill per email, you have to pay in time or pay... quite high rates. BUT: they do not charge extra for out-of-country usage, which is otherwise quite common (1-3% extra) So that is my recommendation for paying out-of-Germany as a German. Payment by credit card usually also gives you a quite fair exchange rate.
