Foreign currency savings accounts

Hi,
Does anyone operate foreign currency accounts?
for example:-
http://www.nationwideinternational.com/accounts/accounts_dollar_details.htm
"Exchange rates for the conversion of US dollars to and from sterling and other currencies will be the rate applicable at the time of the transaction. To find out the latest rates please contact us."
Is it likely to be a market rate + x% commisions ?
Thanks,
Ashley.

Would have thought it would be the same as their credit card conversion rate - usually pretty close to the interbank rate.0
