curious what budget do you have in this account?
You must have a decent one to keep these fees waived.

$75k but you could probably get for less, but most banks if your a good enough costumer should waive it

the + of having an Israeli account is that a lot of companies stop taking US cc because people screwed them. I try helping bochrim by paying with my Israeli DC when they screwed up (but of course I take cash upfront they shouldn't screw me too)


But still any DC what has no FT charges and no ATM charges is the best option
-1 citi priority, td and Charles schwabb are 3 off the top of my head that don't charge ft at all
If you have a Metropolitan Commercial Bank DC you can make cash withdrawals at any ATM and ALL ATM transactions are free. (they even pay you back if the ATM charges withdrawal fees) and you just have to leave minimum $   metropolitanbankny.com

you probably saw upthread that a simple method would be to send her an ATM card
