You can do an electronic transfer from your bank account directly. Or through an exchange like BFC. Depends on where you get better exchange rates and lower charges.

I don't do it this way. I transfer from my HSBC account in BHD to my Citibank account in BHD. Then I move it to my Citibank Singapore account - since it's internal transfer, I get good BHD to USD rates. From there, I transfer into GBP as I don't pay any transfer charges and the rate is as per international market.
