I've been using Xoom to send American dollars to France every two weeks for three years now, it works great, reliably, the interface simple, polished and offers a lot of useful features, the pricing is cheap and there's no surprise fees. Highly recommended!
I started working remotely a little while ago, and I decided to try Xoom based on a friend's suggestion. My employer had some issues with verifying the transaction when he was travelling, but it worked fine otherwise.
