There are plenty of suggestions in this thread:

What are your favorite banks and bank-like services around the world?

I figured we could crowd-source the best options out there for travelers, both actual banks (such as N26, Charles Schwab, and Monzo) and other e-money providers (such as Revolut, Transferwise and LeoPay), that at least provide a bank-like account number (such as IBAN) and/or a payment card . Let’s focus on providers with one or more of the following characteristics: Low costs for international use (POS, ATMs, transfers, exchange) Good support and user friendly apps …

Depending on your nationality and where you have a mailing address, etc some easy options include N26, Leupay and Monese, or even TransferWise Borderless or Payoneer.
