Anyone here sending money often from USA to LATAM for family support?

My aunt is in US and part of her fam is in LATAM. and she frequently sends money to them for regular expenses. I have a cousin in Argentina and my grandparents in Colombia and it seems each country has its own banking rules and rates. She just needs to send real quick but right now she is telling me that she manages her money with BofA and it seems that local banks in SA charge big fees and transfers take too long. 

Anyone in a similar situation? How do you handle frequent transfers to family without it taking forever or costing too much each time? Would really appreciate any suggestions. I have read some options but I would like to see 2026 updated experiences for sending a couple of hundred$ (Like $200 to $500) and some times thousand$ ($1000 to $2000).
