Question for you all about transferring funds to your US bank acct.

To move about $10k AUD, I checked Wise and Revolut - both mentioned fairly regularly in this thread - as well as a few others. Couldn't see IBKR rates, perhaps only visible to account holders. Was really surprised to find Western Union came out as cheapest.

I always assumed WU had pretty poor rate or charged high fee. Surely that's not right. Am I missing something here?
I used wise and ibkr on weekend and for 10K was approx the same - ibkr about $9 cheaper so marginal on 10K - never used wu - this always feels "scammy" to me - always associated with scams
