Sadly most regular banks will hose you on exchange rates and fees. I work for a company in the US but live in Europe. I've experimented with many ways of moving money and still the best by far is wise. I've tried a dollar account at my bank here but the fees and exchange rates were trash, not to mention that it's abysmally slow to move money that way. Wise has been great for me so far, but I'm only using it as a conduit from my us bank to my euro one.
