nationwide don't charge a commission for foreign txns

Nationwide also give a rate very close to the bank rate, rather than the tourist one. No commision and no ATM charge.

I live in Spain about 20% of the time and try to avoid getting Euro any other way. (For really small amounts of cash M&S are OK)

my ex boss used to have separate euro/dollar/sterling accounts and he used to move money around like nobodys buisness. I'm going to look into this especially after Paypal charge a whopping 2.5% exchange rate fee.

Nationwide are the only bank in the UK that are free to withdraw when abroad. No charges, and no commission it's the only time I use nationwide.

Does that mean that there are no charges from the atm or bank you withdraw at?

You know what I mean: Sometimes a bank will say no charges from them, but when you're at the ATM overseas there's the message that maybe the dispensing bank will take a fee (which will ultimately come from your bank).
Maight not be the case with nationwide but something to think about. Unually the charge is just a couple of dollars.

Im just hoping they dont put a block on my card if i start withdrawing money and spending it around America. I normaly just take cash.

Call them and let them know the dates that you'll be away for and so the card won't be flagged and stopped for transactions in the states (if you tell them that's where you're going)

Usually the customer service number is on the back of your card, so if it does get stopped you can call 'em.
