Here is a cheap way to transfer money if you need to on a regular basis (or even more than once), but it requires a bit of homework (setup).
Open an account in your own name in the same bank you have your other account(s). Have the bank issue an ATM card (not a credit/debit card) with a PIN different than yours. Send/give her the card and let her know the PIN.
You can now transfer money from your account to this separate account. When you transfer funds it will be available in seconds.
Just make sure that this account is not tied to your own over-draft protection.
