It's been discussed on a few MH sites wrt those of us that use the free Nationwide ATM service while abroad and as they are dropping this in November should they go over to Santander. Much in the news about Santander "waiving" their ATM charges in Spain but if you ask in any of their brances the answer is that they still do charge. Also on their web site this is still their official policy;
"If you use your Santander Visa debit card, or Santander cash card to withdraw cash abroad, a cash handling fee of 1.5% of the value (min £1.99) will be applied. The bank whose cash machine you're using might also charge you a fee. If you use your Santander card outside of the UK, a fee of 2.75% of the transaction value will be charged."
No mention of Spain and "free" and if it were the case the "waiving of fees", it could be dropped at any time.
So is it just a tempary "scam" to get some of us (me included) to change over?
Anyone seen anything more official about this from Santander?
