can i use my natwest debit card in australia?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Almost certainly. I'm a Brit, in Melbourne at present, and use my smile visa card to draw cash from ATMs. However, they charge me about 4 quid per 200 quid I withdraw. For larger purchases, I use Mastercard, (credit) who don't make a charge, but some smaller outfits will add 5% to the bill if you use a credit card, they can get away with that here. Hairdresser yesterday, for example, and newsagent when I purchased top up for mobile, both added 5% but department stores, supermarkets and petrol stations don't add it on, so worth checking before spending a large amount.

It's lovely here, but I wish they'd stop going on about the Ashes!

Answer 3

Yes. You should be able to do this. However, Check with your bank. Some banks do require you to notify them that your will be using your card outside of your home county and some require the card to be activated for international transactions. There may be fees for every transactions. Maestro Cards should work at atms.

For future info
In the U.S.
Maestro debit cards may work at Merchants that take the NYCE network. It should work at atms that have the Cirrus logo or MasterCard logo.
