HSBC Sterling Withdrawals
« on: September 25, 2016, 18:16:58 PM »
I'm thinking of moving to HSBC - can someone tell me if there is a charge for withdrawing sterling abroad from an HSBC ATM or would they just debit the amount in pounds? Ta!

According to Martin Lewis there is a 2.99% charge to a maximum of £3.00.

I saw that, but that is for non-sterling.

Thanks Pauline - I just wondered, I am a Halifax Clarity Card user so I would probably use that anyway. I do wonder how they justify charging HSBC customers for withdrawing sterling from HSBC ATMs though...

I Have drawn pounds sterling with my Barclays debit card form HSBC ATM's in Turkey and there has never been any additional charges. I have been doing it for the last 12 years.

Ignore previous post please, I did try and delete it but it was beyond me. I did not read the original post properly. Another senior moment.

It depends who your bank is in the UK, they are the ones that charge. If I draw sterling from HSBC atm my bank in the UK charge me 2%, and I bank with Co-op or Smile. You need to ask the HSBC in the UK if they would charge you for withdrawing

We have been drawing sterling from our HSBC accounts in the UK, at the HSBC ATM here in Turkey for 9 years now and it has never cost us a penny.
