    The member of the Global Alliance you're most likely to find in Italy is Deutsche Bank. There's a list of branches in Italy here: http://deutsche-bank.map24.com/cc/search.php?lang=en&debug=&country0=it

    so whats the other benefits of using a barclays debit card abroad then
  • You get charged hidden charges & some not hidden charges. Not really a benefit - except to Barclays!

    Better by far - as you have the time to do this - apply for a Nationwide Flex account with debit & credit card. No charges to withdraw money on debit card, buy items on credit card with no charges & the best exchange rate you'll find in resort/bank/exchange companies.

    Never worry about exchange rates again OR buying currency unless you go somewhere totally off the beaten track where there are no ATM's.
