I personally use two different banks they vary on wire prices just for the range
Digital Fed. Credit Union is: Sent in Foreign Currency - $40 Sent in US Currency - $50 Bank of America: International wire transfer sent in US dollars cost $45. International wire transfer sent in foreign currency cost $35.
