    Thanks guys. Yes, my back up was Nationwide and I got charged £3+ for a £100 withdrawal. Needed cash for the taxi. I think they only have DnB NOR at the airport, which I think is a major bank, so couldn't really try anything else! I did somewhat expect the ATM at the airport to work with Metro Bank but obviously I was proved wrong.

    Although in Oslo my experience is that you don't need cash for taxis.
    They all appear to take cards.
    In fact lastime I was there, for 3 weeks, I didn't use any cash at all.

    I had it rejected in one ATM in Italy (can't remember which bank, I'm afraid). Otherwise I think it's worked in every ATM I've tried it in, in the UK, Italy, Germany and the USA. I have had it rejected several times for Point of Sale transactions (again, can't remember where, sorry). It works fine most of the time though.
    Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks

    And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning

    I posted a related message here:

    Bottom line: Tickets.com phoned me back to say they do not accept MetroBank cards.

    I could not use my Metrobank card to book the Sydney Bridge Climb.
