TSB debit card charges for buying currency?

I've looked everywhere but can't find answer. If I use my TSB debit card to buy currency from Tesco online, will I pay a fee?

That would depend on the T&Cs of both Tesco and TSB but I have never been charged banking fees for using a debit card for currency purchase in the UK. Credit card would be totally different though.

Getting a better card before you travel and withdrawaing cash via an ATM on arrival, is usually a much better option.

Do you get an actual card? I'm not sure if I have time before I go but something to consider.
