Nationwide - No Cash Withdrawls Abroad

I've got a Nationwide Flex Account and I got this letter from them

"At Nationwide we're always looking to improve our products to meet our customers needs. Following a review of our accounts and the increased use of cards for making payments, we are introducing a new card to make your everyday banking with Nationwide even easier. As a result, we will be issuing a new cash card + to replace your current card"

"...use you new cash card + instead of withdrawing cash to pay for things in shops. You can use your cash card + at shops in the UK and overseas but please note that your new card cannot be used to withdraw cash overseas."

So if I want to go abroad I won't be able to withdraw cash. I go abroad 4 or 5 times a year and have a Nationwide account and benefit from the free cash withdrawls.

    At Nationwide we're so proud that we're different from normal banks because we're owned by our members.

    But we still can't say anything without first coming out with the standard marketing claptrap.
  • Not being able to widthdraw cash out is a bit harsh.
