Santander Debit Card and Fairfx top ups

Does anyone know if Santander charges for using their debit card to top up a US $ fairfx card? I know I don't get charged with my Halifax debit card, and I never used to with my old A&L card, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer for Santander. Thanks!

    I didn't on my old A&L card either - even after Santander had officially taken over my account (we still kept the A&L debit cards until they expired). I haven't tried it since it got replaced by a Santander card though, so although I'd imagine not, I can't guarantee it!
