Nationwide regular savings account

Can anyone tell me if I can use the card to my Nationwide regular savings account to withdraw money when in Spain, and if so, are there any charges?

    I believe it is just a LINK card - therefore cannot be used outside the UK.

    Does it have a Cirrus logo?

    The description of the product here suggests that the card is only for use in LINK ATMs - if it doesn't bear the VISA/Mastercard/Maestro, etc., logo then it probably is of no use outside the UK.

    Why not just open a Nationwide Flex account, the Debit Card can definitely be used in Spain or other European countries with no charges - a small charge is about to be introduced for ATM transactions in other areas of the world.
  • i use the nationwide flex account when i withdraw in money in spain, nearly always guaranteed to beat all money exchanges etc.
