Travel Card

Options
Is there a current account debit card where i can withdrawal unlimited cash abroad (Thailand) using an atm. I have Chase but they have put a £2k monthly withdrawal limit. When i travel i use about £4k cash a month. Withdrawal £500 twice a week. I don't want to pay the 3% or whatever commission. Just want the standard exchange rate. I do have a Halifax clarity but its hassle keep repaying the cash withdrawals to prevent interest

    First Direct allow £500 a day ATM withdrawals fee free. Starling allow £300 a day fee free. Both are good banks which I use and recommend.

    Is there no monthly limits with first direct and no additional fees please? So i could take 20,000 baht (around £480) twice a week for a few months without any problems?

    There are no monthly limits with either First Direct or Starling. With First Direct, you could theoretically withdraw £480 twice a week for a few months while abroad without incurring fees.
