What bank is it that doesn't charge you for taking money out abroad?

Answer 1

Nationwide - search their web site
When you use your Cash Card, FlexAccount Debit Card or Nationwide Credit Card to withdraw cash or make purchases abroad, Nationwide will not charge you a currency conversion fee. Your purchases and cash withdrawals will be converted to sterling at a rate set by VISA. Card providers have the option of adding a percentage to that exchange rate. This is a currency conversion fee.

It is important that you always pay for your purchases abroad in the local currency and not sterling. This is because some shops may use higher exchange rates and charge commission to convert your purchases into sterling.

If you use your FlexAccount Cheque Guarantee Card to withdraw cash abroad, you will not be charged a currency conversion fee at CIRRUS machines. Unlike most financial organisations, Nationwide will not charge you for using your card abroad.*

* Nationwide will not charge members for using any cash machines, but the machine provider may make charges over which we have no control

Answer 2

DEFINITELY Nationwide. No charge made by them.

I have been with them for many years. A few attempts have been made in the past to convert it into a BANK (customers hoping to receive a big bonus payment) but it remains a Building Society.

It functions in the same manner as a BANK and operates an on-line banking service which I find extremely useful.

I use their DEBIT and CREDIT cards.

In case you are wondering, I am not an employee or advertising agent! I am simply answering your question.

Ask about their CIRRUS card if you wish to travel worldwide and draw cash without any other bank making charges.

Good Luck.

Answer 3

One that's abroad already. If you go regularly to one country open an account there. Spain is dodgy though, they'll try rip-off tricks on you shamefacedly. Australia is OK, especially the Community Credit Union banks where they pay you good money for being in(terested)! Otherwise try the Nationwide, the fairest UK bank, in my experience. Happy hunting and Bon Voyage!
