my current lloyds/tsb debit card is now charging me �1 for every transaction i make abroad and every transaction in foreign currency online. eg, e bay etc etc.

The Nationwide Debit Card has no charges and their Credit Card only charge if you use it to withdraw cash.

Ian, forgot to mention if you are paying in a foreign currency, say euros, the Nationwide give an excellent rate of exchange, which is far better than the tourist rate. I never take foreign currency or travellers cheques when I go abroad. I use the local ATM's/Banks. It has saved me quite a lot of money over the years.

If you have a HSBC account, upgrade your account to a Bank Account Plus and you will not be charged for overseas cash withdrawals...as well as free annual family travel insurance! It's about �10 a month but has it's benefits.
