Aside 0.5% rate, you also get charged $25 flat swift fee.
That's UBA, and I think many other banks do same.

Why not use other means for your transfer?
Paypal e.t.c

No, you don't incur any other charges other than the amount sent.
However, for the receivers end, he/she incur charges depending on the paypal country. But for UK, no charges.

Let me know the country you sending to so as to advice you better.

I get what you mean. But if I don't have money in my Paypal account and need to move money into it from Nigeria, the process demands that I also pay bank charges and transfer fees isn't it ?

OK if I am using my visa card how much will be deducted from my account for a $200 payment ? I want to know before I get nasty surprises.

Depends on the Bank and the type of account you've got.
You only get to pay $200 equivalent in Naira and nothing more.
But for dorm account, Bank like UBA will charge you 2% but not for other banks I know of
