US Dollar Bank Account

[Clippy]

Anyone here have one? If so, who with?

Looking to move away from Citibank who have now started to charge for cheque deposits so looking for alternatives/recommendations.

I've got one with HSBC, the basic deal is $5/month fee, 0% savings interest, telephone/branch banking only (you can view balance online but nothing else). I then signed up to pay £17/month for HSBCnet which gives me proper online services and makes sending payments out cheaper.

I've got HSBC they charge +/- $5.

HSBCNet was no use to me so didn't bother - just used telephone banking.

NB. They only produce paper statements and mail them which often do not arrive - it is a severe ball ache to get the paper statements resent - as it is a secretive, mysterious dept that you personally cannot communicate with.

It is not part of the internet business banking (except the balance).

not great.

Seems like it's just Citi and HSBC of the major players? and their T&Cs are rubbbish,

Hmm, I get my statements regularly, as well as a monthly letter telling me about the account fee. I think if there is no account activity they don't sent statements?

I have found them helpful on telephone banking whenever needed. Would recommend if you don't need to be sending masses of payments.
