And they'll likely save money over using Western Union - most U.S. banks charge a flat $20 to $40 for outgoing international bank wires regardless of amount.

Western Union (and probably similar for MoneyGram) has a $2900 limit for some countries, plus as many have pointed out already, funding such transfers can be problematic due to fraud screening.
