Really I am looking for one which has either an international debit card or an associated credit card as I will be travelling at the end of the year for 3 months in SE Asia and then over to China and if its one where money can be set up to automatically be skimmed into a savings account that would also help, otherwise it gets complicated as to what money is being transferred where.
Also looking for other benefits as well such as best interest rate, lowest overdraft fees etc. At the moment I have a standard HSBC account, which at least would have the advantage of there being loads of machines to use, although from what I can gather you would get charged for this overseas - bit ludicrous to me but there you go.

Try Nationwide FlexAccount. With their debit card you can get money in the local currency anywhere in the world without charge, provided there is a Cash Machine, and that you don't get charged locally to use the machine. They also have an e-savings account which is a straight transfer from and to your flexaccount where you earn extra interest.

HSBC in china is proven a failed business, what do you expect they can do for you? how much money are you going to spend there? if it is not big, there is no need to worried about? it is very handy, all the solo, and credit card are reconised in china major banks and hotels. u dont get charge too much. bring a travel cheque, all the money u need to spend there.

Nationwide don't charge you for taking money out abroad. We work abroad and have uk bank accounts and quite a few of them say thay are quite good. I stayed with my bank cause i can't be dealing with the hassle of changing my bank
