Unfortunately, due to the current UK money-laundering regulations, it's very hard to send a wire to someone outside the UK. UK banks are fairly free and easy about setting up chequebook-only accounts for charities and societies; but even if you have a proper corporate account with full electronic banking services, sending a payment overseas (where a lot of speakers will be) requires someone to physically queue up at the bank's special services desk when it's open and sign a bunch of forms (and sender or receiver gets a £12 charge).
