Not a waste; despite working these issues for some time I remain ever
hopeful that there is indeed a simple solution that has to date escaped
us. Or even a complex one for that matter.

I have also conflated other issues in what started out as an online
payment thread :-)

Citibank and Ally are both U.S. banks, we already have multiple U.S.
bank accounts. We don't do a lot of transactions (other than online
donation payments) so the per-transaction fees are not a major
consideration, nor are they onerous with our current U.S. bank.

Dwolla I'll call when they open for business. I suspect we'll run into
the U.S. web server location issue, but I'll check.
