Yeah - Nationwide is good. Also the Post Office too.
You want to look for a card with '0% fee on use abroad' or 'commission free use abroad'.
Most cards charge 2.75% on every transaction made in a foreign currency.
Nationwide is 1% outside the EU.
Post Office is 0% anywhere.0 -
Santander Zero? Also has 0% on purchases for the first 3 months0

Santander Zero is now better than Nationwide outside Europe.0
