As the self appointed spokesperson for the Nationwide who has never had any trouble reading and correctly interpretting the information on their web site please can I categorically state the following.
1. Cash cards - a complete red herring in this debate because you can not withdraw any money in any currency anywhere out side of the UK.
2 Flex account holders - if you withdraw Sterling overseas you will not be charged one single penny.
This is a tried and tested fact.
In Fethiye we are lucky to be able to draw Sterling from some ATM's. so we continue to benefit from free overseas withdrawals for Sterling only.
