    Basically it will amount to 1% outside Europe, still free within Europe.

    Options that are still free outside Europe are:
    • Post Office credit card - good for purchases but not cash withdrawals
    • Nationwide Cash Card (not debit card) - this apparently will still be free for the time being, but they are likely to start charging for this at some point.
    Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks

    And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning
  • I've just done some research on my bank home page and found the info i needed! Should have looked earlier but useful for anyone else in this position.
  • Thanks Benjus should have looked earlier!!
