Converting dollars to CHF

Quote from Ivanovich:

Yes, I know how to have a forex account and buy CHF/USD (or short USD/CHF). What I'm looking to learn is the easiest manner in which to convert a savings account to CHF - preferably in a swiss bank. Being American is obviously a problem as I think many swiss institutions are preventing that because of the IRS these days, but my wife has dual citizenship (not with Switzerland) and can use her other passport.

What's the easiest way to accomplish that?

What about "Everbank"? I think you can deposit dollars and have them converted to whatever currency you want and the account can then be maintained in that currency. www.everbank.com
