Best US banks for international traveling

Hello world,

As I prepare for my two year stinct in Costa Rica, I am currently looking for a US bank that would best service the needs of US travelers abroad. Do anyone know of any banks or could you offer suggestions? I will even accept complaints regarding your current bank and the issues you've ensued while serving as a Peace Corp member.

I guess I ought to tell you what I am looking for:

International fees associated with ATM withdrawals/deposits/currency exchanges/card transaction

Minimum balance and fees associated with falling below

Theft protection/security policies

Monthly fees/service charges

Inactivity fees and periods

Free online banking and online pay/transactions

And anything you feel is relevant
