nationwide debit card

dieseldog

Just got my statement after returning from salou in spain,the cash machine offered me the rate of 1.41 euros,which declined and took the nationwide rate which was 1.45/1.46 and no charges.These figures relate to mid june.
hope this helps someone.

do you mean the cash machine said " do you want 1.41 euro or the nationwide rate" ie did it give you a choice?

Are they using Dynamic Currency Conversions on ATM's too now?

Money grabbing bar stewards.

I've used my Nationwide debit card in Prague and Lisbon recently .... no machine offered me a specific rate. I just took the cash out and waited to see what rate I got when the statement arrived.

You're quite right, Bal. The rate you get from Nationwide is always better than the tourist rate, presumably a commercial rate. That, coupled with no charges or commission, makes it an even better deal.

Nationwide Flex Account is the only account to offer this: 4.25% on credit balances too. Ditch the High Street banks!!

in mallorca you are offered at 1 stage of the atm withdrawal whether you want it debited in sterling or euros ( or something similar ) ...you have to read it carefully as you wantthe transaction done in euros

Yes, there is a 'trial' of DCC; http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/29/AR2005072900927.html in cashpoints abroad. Watch out for it.

The 1.41 exchange was offered on the screen or you have the chance to take your banks rate, but it does not tell your banks rate.
