Nationwide - Maximum withdrawal abroad

ManAtHome

Thta's weird Trev - I've pulled 300 euro out on many occasions in Spain and Greece (always thought it was £250 worth, but I rarely read the instructions...).

In Italy last month, I was limited to €300 per day. I assume that was the rule of the bank owning the ATM, not Nationwide.

I wonder if each country's banks apply their own limit? Or maybe each bank applies its own limit, even within a country? Anyone found limits different at two banks within the same country, using the same card?

was in algarve 2 weeks ago and the limit was 200 euros on all the ATMs using the nationwide flex card !!

I get 300 Euro's a day in Spain, no problem.;)

No charges at all.

Interesting. I was told it is £300 per day or equivalent from Nationwide - it used to be £500 a few years back but dropped. I only go to Europe and have had the problem of only getting €200 from an ATM in the Algarve, but I then just use another ATM. We have a joint account and take two cards but have been refused when trying to withdraw more than £300 from our account.

Why would you need so much money for 1 day?

Car hire, we get a great deal when paying in cash and also for ciggies, again better deals sometimes for cash.

I'm wondering if the limit just applies to Albufeira or certain parts of the Algarve? I can't remember taking money out elsewhere.

sorry to butt in on the thread but can someone tell me do you get charged to take out cash? and if so how much roughly per time? and what exchange rate would i get in portugul by using the machine rather than buying it here?(going places offer a better rate between 12-2 evryday so was just gonna get that!)

Using a Nationwide card there are no fees to pay, unlike other banks etc. The rate you get is the full bank exchange rate on the day, NOT the tourist rate.
