Halifax Clarity card foreign currency charge

I am looking at buying $700 through The Change group which I found through the travel money maximiser on this site and thought that I would use the above card for extra security.As they don't charge for ATM withdrawls in foreign countrys would it apply to buying foreign currency?

    No, it's a cash advance. You will pay interest from day 1. You won't get any extra protection from the CCA either.
