    I've had this problem before, (with a Barclays Basic account), just ask the postmaster to try it and they'll find that it works.

    Use a cash machine for cash withdrawals. They are free of charge.
  • no cash machines locally, unless I get a bus into town hence why been paying the fees. however,no more as the post office worked.

  • I've had the NatWest Step account before and have taken out cash over the counter a few times before without any problems at all!

    Which is odd - as Barclays 'normal' cards can be used as well.

    It was more a case of the staff-member being unfamiliar with the card, rather than anything else.

    What are you trying to buy ? - a second class stamp :o

    The Post Office will make a loss after paying the debit card fixed fee - use a credit card instead :idea:

    I withdraw cash from the Post Office next to the launderette using a debit card :cool:

    The sub postmaster's funny chap - if I withdraw £1 and ask for it in 20p's for the dryer , he claims to need the 20p's for his own use (after debiting the card of course)

    asking for 80p seems to annoy him too , so I withdraw £3.50 for the washing machine and return for the 80p towards the end of the washing cycle :D
