So if you are using your nationwide card in OZ to withdraw free cash (from your UK Nationwide Current account - be aware !

 

Sooo bloody annoying

My A&L debit card has charged us a fee for withdrawing since we got here in November and now the OZ banks charge for taking money out of other banks ATM's

I have had a statement from Nationwide to say that they will be moving from surcharge free foreign payments to a 1% fee as from May 2009.

This is still a lot better than the average credit card, which charges 2.75% fee on foreign payments.
