How are the banks now? I don't which one to choose for ease of transfers to and from the US. You mentioned you bank with Galacia (or because HSBC was bought out by Galacia).

For ease of use, which bank is the least horrible for expats here?

Great read. Maybe the laws are different but I've brought in over $80,000 at one time. I just declared it. I was buying a property and the seller wanted to sell really quickly so I brought it in. I had a certified and notarized letter from my bank stating it was withdrawn for the purpose of buying real estate. I didn't have any issues at all. I had a security guard meet me at the airport and it was uneventful.
