if you don't want to do it locally, you can do it via exchange and then receive the money on your bank account, after that you just go to any atm in your zone and withdraw your cash
That's the worst way of getting cash in exchange for BTC. The transfer fees, exchange fees and all the stuff make it better to do via LocalBitcoins, or just finding a friend who will buy bitcoins from you.
What I would like though, is more Bitcoin two-way ATMs. That's helpful for both people and decentralization.
