Free ATM cash withdrawals in Europe?

MarkXy

I'm posting this here as there doesn't seem to be a general banks forum.

I would like a bank account in euros that allows free ATM withdrawals throughout the euro zone. It could be with a bank in any one of the sixteen euro zone countries, but Ireland would be preferable given that it is English speaking and just a short distance away.

I think I am being quite optimistic that such an account exists, but have you heard of anything?

Thanks

What about a Nationwide bank account?

The forum is "Budgeting and current accounts" for banking stuff.

Do you get paid in Euros?

If not the Nationwide account as mentioned by nomoneytoday is the one for you.

MarkXy

Yea - I have one of these, but I wanted a euro account. This is so I can send money there when the exchange rate is good.

Thanks for replying anyway.

Nationwide accounts are good for getting euros but are actually in £sterling, which is not what MarkXy asked for.

Could still be the best solution though

I think citibank do a euro account.

My ex-employer Cater Allen Private Bank do accounts held in UK, Euro and US$ if you are a high earner/net worth customer.

Thanks Ben, the Ctibank euro account looks interesting. It has no fees at all and gives a Visa debit card. Non-citi ATMs will charge though.

Could someone move this thread to the right place please?
