    Unlimited ATM usage abroad
    what is meant by this? Do they mean the won't charge for transactions when withdrawing cash like they used to do about 4 years ago.

    What is the usual cost for :-
    Worldwide Family Travel Ins.
    Car Brakedown
    Mobile Phone insurance

    Smile charge £13 pm but you get 1 additional extra to choose from, ie 2 x free airport lounge passes pp for jt account holders, or gadget insurance. But you don't get a very good interest rate on your money in the bank!

    I think their sister company, Coop bank is cheaper but you don't get the same package.

    If you don't know is it possible that you just don't need them?

    Actually this would suggest that it's capped at £10 per month. From Nationwide's website too.

    It was a rhetorical question, however I'm still no clearer as to what they mean by

    "Unlimited ATM usage abroad"

    Where has this been announced? I can't see anything on the Nationwide website?!?!?
    I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂

    Its because it hasn't been announced yet!!

    Was I right last month when I said nationwide are bringing out a new interest rate for their current account I believe I was.

    Wait until Monday and it will be announced.

    Alright hard...

    I was just wondering if the info was on a website anywhere (or the NW website).

    Do you work for them?
