Citibank
Free
About 2.5 weeks for US$, 2 days for GBP
No conversion loss (I have a USD account)

I have a USD GBP and EUR accounts with them, transfers between the accounts are free and instant and the exchange rate difference if I transfer from one account to another and back is a few pennies.
A $1000 cheque becomes a $1000 balance in my USD account.
