I've had a great relationship with my bank forever, but with the current US laws for terrorism and drug trafficking, the banks don't want to do shit to help you. They wouldn't even wire me MY money to Bogota via Western Union. They used to do that but not anymore.
Charles Scwab is great, I still use them, but whatever you do folks, DO NOT lose your card.
I needed new cards sent to me in Bogota and my bank said no way. I had to beg them for days over the damn internet and phone, and then I guess they finally felt sorry for me being stuck in a foreign country without any means of support and then Fed Exed them to me. But they had to call the bank's lawyers and get them to review the federal laws before saying ok, and that shit took over a week.
