One thing to keep in mind :

EU regulation forced EU banks to apply the exact same rate in intra-EU
bank transfer rate as the one used in the country where the account is
located (and in general, at least in France, it means it is free, when
done using Internet) : so it would probably a good idea to have a
account in EU (GNOME-FR has an account, I don't know if it could be
used for that).
