    How about bitcoins?

    * Very low transaction cost * International Transfers is same as local transfers.

    Suggest to read up more about pros/risks before proceeding.

    In Europe, the answer is probably GoCardless. Depends what kind of payments though - if it's card type payments you need, (I.e instant, fore commerce type stuff), then not, but subscriptions, most bills/invoices, absolutely GoCardless.

    Check out Skrill (formerly Moneybookers).
