Hi
I've just returned from a trip to Ireland where I used my Clydesdale Bank debit card to withdraw money from an ATM. On a withdrawal of £230 I have been charged more than £8 in fees!! This equates to 3.75%. Is this legal???? I was with First Direct up until recently and was never charged more than 1.75% for using my card abroad. This seems outrageous. I thought bank charges were supposed to be 'reasonable'?? Has anyone else had a similar experience? Is there anything I can do to reclaim these charges?
thanks
