I recently stated a new job and I am being paid from the companies offshore (UK based) USD account to my USD account here in the states. I am incurring about 0.65% in fees including fee from the originating bank, then two fees from my bank, one is a processing/handling fee, the other a receiving fee.

I am unable to change anything at the originating bank so my options are limited to the US side. Which bank has the lowest processing/handling and receiving fees for international wire transfers.

The only solution is the obvious one... start making calls. I doubt anyone knows every bank's fee tables off the top of their head.

And perhaps have the funds depoisted directly into a bank that is international with branches in that country and this country.
