Going abroad?

Lucky you... Your card will be accepted at over 19 million outlets worldwide and you can use it to withdraw up to £500 a day from over 1 million cash machines (though remember, the ATM owner may charge you and other fees and charges may apply - see details below). You don't have to let us know before you go on your travels, you can go safe in the knowledge that we will look out for any unusual spending on your accounts as we would do when you're here at home. As always, please make sure we have your up to date telephone numbers (you can send us a message on Online Banking).

If you pay for something in the local currency, take local currency out of a cash machine, or request a cash advance, we'll charge you a non-Sterling transaction fee of 2.99% of the amount. Your transactions will be converted to Sterling by Visa, using the interest rate applicable on the day of the conversion - read more about how Visa convert foreign transactions Opens an overlay [Will show a security message first] - and we'll add the transaction and any associated fees to your card balance as soon as Visa have done this, or next working day at the latest.

Before you go you can also use your card to order travel money online. This is classed as a cash advance, so a cash advance fee applies. Have a good trip!
