    Hi, I'm from Italy and when I come back to my country I use Metrobank and I don't pay any fees, just the one that goes to Mastercard/Visa.
    The only problem is that all the branches are south, near London.

    Thanks... Is it not the same on clarity cc?
    ( if you clear the balance before the statement date you can avoid charges on ATM withdrawals.)



    It may be the same in that respect however the Barclaycard app would be hard to beat. As well as viewing your credit rating you can view your PIN which could be useful abroad.
