I may be moving to the USA for a while with work. The problem is that I have no credit history in the US. That means that buying cars, renting property is going to be a pain in the neck.

Anyone know which of the card-based savings accounts are accessible overseas? The only two I know of myself are Woolwich Cardsaver (with a Visa Electron card) and Egg (with a Plus cash card). I'd like one with a debit card and internet access but can't think of such a beast. Arnold
