US dollar bank accounts

I am currently charged approx $50 to transfer USD 1000 from my CBA savings account to my securities broker account in US.

Fee break up :

$28 by CBA for wire transfer
$23 by the receiving bank JP Morgan in US.

I was wondering if there is a cheaper way to wire money to US. The transfer must be made from a bank account owned by the broker account holder. This is a restriction set by the broker.

Are there any Aussie bank accounts which can be linked to USD account in US facilitating transfers with less or no fees ?

TIA
