For US$ 500 Million (Dollar to Dollar transfer), your bank should be able to facilitate this transfer via SWIFT, would probably cost you under US$ 100 to do it. For a transaction of this size, it would be most likely run through direct settlement (bank-to-bank).

For US$ 500 Million (Dollar to Some-Other-Currency), pick up the phone and call up your bank's FX/Treasury department and find out what rate you are getting? Additionally call up folks like USForex and many other currency FX brokers and let them fight over your business.
