It depends heavily on where you are, which bank you're with, with whom you're a citizen of, and a myriad of other factors.

Canadians may have an easier time than Americans, but Britons will be SOL.

It is not smooth at all: https://bitbargain.co.uk/trade-bitcoins-app

Not to mention the 0.4XBT non refundable seller application fee.

For a one-off "I want to cash out" use case this is completely unworkable.
