    The Nationwide Select credit card is fee free for purchases (but not cash). I think you have to have been a member for a certain number of years to get one.

    I've got a FlexPlus current account, which is fee free for cash withdrawals, there's a fee for the account but the insurances included are easily worth the fee (assuming of course you need them).

    I know about these products, I was simply responding to this post from Cyberman60:
    I pay no monthly fee on my Nationwide flexaccount so the fees are definitely cheaper for me

    So it is a normal Flex Account with it's 2% Non-Sterling Transaction Fee and additional ATM withdrawal charges for usage abroad.

  • There's the n&p debit card.. no fees to use abroad.

    It's not bad as a back-up card - no conversion/fees on purchases and a flat 2% on ATM cash providing you pay off in full each month. Sure, not the best going, but beats Nationwide Flex and and many pre-paid (and probably all pre-paid for small amounts).
