Looking for an account with good overseas ATM use

Susievintage

I travel quite a bit, and have always valued my Citibank current account because it offers the facility to withdraw local currency from overseas ATMs at a good exchange rate and without charging for the withdrawal. However, they have just notified me that they are about to start charging (very handsomely) for this service.

Can anyone recommend a personal current account that offers overseas ATM use - perhaps even for free? I never go overdrawn and do not need other fancy services, but it would be my main account and so I need to get it right. I would also prefer to do my banking online.

Many thanks for any suggestions.

Nationwide Flex account is worth looking into, I believe they still have this benefit - however for how long is anyones guess.

Seems to be same as with credit card transactions in that they pass on visas 1% charge outside of Europe but don't add a charge of their own.
