International banks may be a better option.  I have accounts with Citibank
in the US (USD) and Australia (both AUD and USD).  Transfers between the
two countries are free, with an excellent exchange rate if transferring
currency.

However I'm not sure how easy getting a US account setup would be if you
don't have a legal presence in the US (I'm a US resident, so it was easy)
