USD bank account

Options
Which is the best bank to open a USD $ bank account with? I have read and called around and the charges on having a $ account are very high. I would like to open a $ account but not be charged to use my own money... anybody have any ideas? ???

Thanks
Val :)

    Citibank has no charges, I believe, if you maintain a minimum balance in all accounts of £2K.
    I have five stars! This doesn't mean that I know anything about any of the things I post. I could be a raving lunatic, or a brilliant genius, or just some guy on the internet. In fact, I could be all three at the same time.

    If anything I say makes sense, then do it. If not, don't. Don't blame me or my stars if you do something stupid because I suggested it. I'm responsible for my own stupidity only. You are responsible for yours.

    Why, I don't even have five stars anymore! Aren't you glad you aren't responsible for my stupidity?

    Yeh Citibank, you don't need to keep your £2k in dollars
