Just bought euros from Travelex...great company, good rates, no commission, able to collect at airport etc. Have spotted from LLoyds TSB however they've charged me £4.50 for using my debit card. OUTRAGED !!! Apparantley it's 'in the smallprint'. I bet it is...but as a full time teacher I don't have time to read it! Disgusted at this - it's not an 'overseas transaction' as they claim. Watch out for the same from other banks.

Apparently, HSBC do not make a charge for this type of transaction.0 -

So, you can't be bothered to read the contract between you and your bank, yet you're OUTRAGED when they charge you in accordance with the contract?
Usual MSE rules apply here, I'm afraid.From Poland...with love.

...and pray do tell us what you think those rules are, PBS? Is it in the public interest to be bank-fearing or God-fearing in your book?Usual MSE rules apply here, I'm afraid.0
