Using a Nationwide Visa Debit card in Hong Kong

Thomask

Hi

Has anyone experienced being charged fees by any Hong Kong banks when using a Nationwide Visa Debit card to withdraw cash at an ATM?

So far I've only used HSBC which display a warning on screen that a fee may be charged when withdrawing cash. It's not referring to the fact my card may be a credit card (which it's not) but to the fact the card is international.

How about China (mainland)? Any charges there?

Thanks in advance

No personal experience in Hong Kong but the following links suggest that there is a HK$30 fee per ATM withdrawal:

Your card issuer will be able to confirm this.

I've my doubts that any UK card issuer will be up to speed with what a foreign ATM may or may not charge - but worth a try. Don't be surprised if the answer you get is wrong.

I was there in July last year and there wasn't a fee at that time (at least there was no statement that a fee was being charged). Ask this question on the Hong Kong forum at Tripadvisor and you'll get an up to date answer.
