That would probably be a good option if it was a bit easier to open an account in one of those banks.  Last when I checked they only had offices in New York and LA areas and required a personal visit to open an account.  We live pretty much in the center of the continent, so making a trip just to open an account is not in the cards just now.  Thanks for the idea though, as it might eventually be a possibility if we have other needs to go to NY or LA in the future.

Could you send a top debit card and top it up your end easily? If that would work then you could control/help with his budgeting. Or maybe a US bank card and tell the bank what you are doing he could go to the atm but then having said that how much would the charges be but worth exploring.
