Halifax One card - abroad

I've just applied for a Halifax One card for specific use when I go on my holidays to the USA next month.

I've realised that I forgot to check if the 0% on purchases was still valid if I use it overseas. Does anyone know (I don't have the card yet) if there is anything in the T&C's relating to this? I assume I'll get a poorer exchange rate than normal in any case.

  • Transactions made in the US will still qualify for the 0% but there's an exchange fee of 2.95%.

    You will get a poorer exchange rate compared to the Nationwide credit card (as Nationwide do not charge commission) but the Halifax rate will still be better than any Bureau de Change rate you could get.
