Hello,
It might have been asked before and I'm sorry if I repeat it, but does anyone know which is the best account to hold to withdraw cash abroad? I'm currently using Nationwide account but they changing it for whatever reason. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

    Not quite sure what you mean by " they changing it ".

    Nationwide Flexaccount is still amongst the best providers for ATM withdrawals abroad.

    OP is probably referring to the FlexAccount cash card which is becoming a debit card that won't work in ATMs abroad.

    Get your Nationwide card upgraded if they will let you.

    Get a Cumberland Building Society account if you live in their branch area.

    Otherwise there's not much to choose between the other banks.
