Why does MSE warn against using Santander Edge?

Within MSE's 'Top cards for travelling abroad' guide, we can check if our card charges foreign transaction fees.

Selecting 'Santander' gives the following warning: ! Beware using this card overseas.
The resulting table highlights a field showing there is NO spending charge. Is the warning a mistake?

Comments

  • Could it be to do with Santander charging interest for ATM withdrawals until repaid?

    Sometimes they're not always completely accurate. I used mine abroad last year and all fine. (I used starling debit if I need to withdraw cash.)
