    Nationwide FlexPlus?
    Decent service, perks in the UK and free Visa ATM withdrawals for £10 per month.

    If your looking for cheaper ATM withdrawals in the USA, Citibank or Barclays each have access to a surcharge free network in the USA.

    Unless you are going to play currency exchange games, i.e. buying/selling in advance when you think the gate is good, no bank will beat Visa/Mastercard rate that you can get with the right cards and that virtually repeats the interbank one.
    Ah ok, I'll have a look.

    Citi are dire in the UK, definitely not premium and all their call centres are all in India. I wouldn't bank with them ever again.
    Make £10 a day challenge in Feb £325.82/£280
    March £78/£310

    As far as I'm aware however, you can open an account for the simple reason of you'll be travelling to the country a lot.

    HSBC said my 2-3 times a quarter wasnt sufficient but it MAY be possible if you are travelling there 2-3 times a month.
