Nationwide + travel money

[snookhams]

Due to work I find it really difficult to get into my local branch, do I need a current account with Nationwide to get currency, I will have a Nationwide Credit card, just waiting for it to be delivered, can I use this to get currency. I know that someone on the Dis will know the answer to this. Thanks

Yes you can use your Nationwide CC to get travel money.
Not sure, but I think you may get charged to get currency with a credit card and it will be charged 2% - even if using a Nationwide CC. (Foriegn purchases are free of commission though).

dont use your cc for taking cash from an atm as it will be charged as a cash advance,with the assosated fees.This is like all outher CC.If using CC use it for purcheses only no fee and bank rate applyed.
For cash aply online for your flexaccount and use the debit card for atm withdrawals,then you will get the bank rate and if you use the right atms(publix last aug) no machine fee

I have a nationwide cash Card only - would I be able to use that to withdraw cash?

if its a debit card linked to your flexaccount,you will be able to withdraw cash from an atm like overhere from your account.I dont use debit card for purcheses as we have a cc which offers more protection

Chilly only thing to be aware of is CC rate you will get is the bank rate usaly about 2.75% above the tourist rate( this go`s for the debit card as well)
