I have been charged for buying foreign currency with my debit card

Options
Have I been charged by Santander or Thomsons?

I purchased £250's worth of Euros on Friday and I have been charged a £3 odd 'ATM fee', also according to my telephone banking the transacion to buy the euros was an 'ATM withdrawal'

    1.5%, as detailed in your account T&Cs fees section, would equate to £3.75

    Is that what it was?

    To answer your question, it's a charge made by Santander.

    Thats okay then, for a minute I thought it might have been Thomsons. For some reason they only have options for Visa and Mastercard on their site and I wondered if they had confused my debit card with a credit one.
