    Offshore bank account with free wire transfers

    Hey guys,

    It's not about HK, but I'm sure some of you have an offshore account.

    I'm looking for a bank account (preferably in Europe) that offers free international wire transfers/receive and offers online applications. Would be great if they didn't need $50k or so minimum balance.
    I've applied with Lloyd's in Isle of Man, they offer free wires and minimum 5k balance. They haven't managed to open the account since 5 months, they take weeks to reply to my emails or phone calls and now they want me to send a new application form because of the time from my original application. Sending them a new form would save from having to apply with a different bank and sending EVERYTHING again, but they don't really instill confidence in their customer service.

    Any suggestions?

    BTW: I am NOT a US citizen.
