N&P current acc closure

jkh_3

Need advice on best current account and debit card - criteria being that it can be run online as I travel alot and the debit card incurs no/lowest foreign money fees. Am with N&P which is now going under (no foreign fees and all payments etc can be run via online) Was looking at Virgin (no fee foreign transaction) which I now find has limited actions via online (no payments can be made or set up whilst I am travelling or not) which is no good to me as a current account, tho maybe just used for travelling purchases? So am now looking for a decent current account (which will always be in credit) for my main income to be paid into and bill payments/dds going out. Already have NW FlexDirect that covers my travel Ins (no fee foreingn purchase also) - Any recommendations guys???

Have a look on the main site's travel cards guide.

Personally I got a Halifax Clarity credit card and it saved me an absolute packet.

I use the following:
* Halifax Clarity for all overseas spending - as much as possible - not really suitable in "cash is king" countries
* Metro Bank debit card for withdrawing cash in SEPA countries
* N&P debit card for withdrawing cash elsewhere

I plan to replace the latter with a Monzo prepaid card.

You can withdraw cash on the Halifax Clarity card, but since I use this for everyday spending too, it would involve forfeiting part of the interest free period on statemented purchases in order to pay off the unstatemented cash withdrawals.

Flex plus has a fee but debit card is free for cash withdrawals.

I also have a Halifax clarity and nationwide select.
