Tips on Spanish ATM fees?

leylandsunaddict

We go to Lanzarote and have never been charged. Generally use Santander, but also used Banca March.

I have a Santander 123 debit card which is a MSE 'Card from Hell'
However if I use it in Spain to get cash out of a Santander ATM I believe there is no Withdrawal Fee or Currency Conversion Fee, meaning the rate I get is the Visa rate on that day.
Can someone confirm whether this is correct please.
Thanks

That applies to the Gold Visa debit card. They will have to apply for that separately.

But will they meet the criteria?

Don't really want to apply for a Gold account.
Just wanted to know if anyone had any first hand experience of my question.

In Madrid today, using a Clarity card, Santander wanted to charge 5 euros to withdraw cash. Another bank, 'Bankia' had zero charges but still had the currency conversion option.
