All of you - you're misreading this!
Nationwide will only charge if you use your CREDIT card to withdraw cash. Use your credit card for purchases NOT CASH - that way you still get a great rate (sometimes better than the debit card). You should NEVER get money out on ANY credit card - due to their extra charges - Nationwide is still one of the best if you MUST.
Using your DEBIT card will still incur NO charges.

Linda,

I read it like you as well. Debit card - no charge. Credit card - charge for taking out cash.

Nationwide CREDIT card has had fees for a while JUST for cash withdrawel. I'm not going to look back but I believe those fees are just about to rise by 0.5%. It's still one of the best as there is NO loading (or hidden) fees of around 3% as with most of the other cards. Hence if you make purchases using it it gives you a great exchange rate with NO charges whatsoever.

It's the DEBIT card you should be using for withdrawing CASH - with NO fees whatsoever & REMAINING that way.

It is quite an informative site. :)


Just checked myself and agree with the others. The article refers to credit cards and not debit cards. So Nationwide is still the best deal.

We have just come back from furnishing our new place I used my Nationwide credit card at Eron Spot on 22 March 08 for £2000 the exchange rate I got with no charges was 2.46 ytl ( in the change shop in Fethiye the same day was 2.43YTL) I made various withdrawals from the cash machines using my debit card through the week and by Friday I got 2.51 no charges ( the change shop and Finnansbank were 2.46 ytl)
I think Nationwide is a great service, saves you carrying lots of money about, and ther cards seem to work ok in all ATM machines. If you use your Credit Card to get cash then I think there is a charge. We both take our debit cards so can withdraw up to  £600 per day in Sterling from some ATM machines or YTL

Weve just returned from Spain and we used our Nationwide everyday for cash. the local rate for Euros was 1.235 so I reckoned to withdraw 120 euros was about £100ish. When we came back it translated to £93. Its a much better way to change money and no cost. Just never sure what the daily limit is. By what Mark says it must be £300 each- is that right?
