It will still be free in Europe thank goodness.

Some good news though!

"All cardholders will still be able to use Nationwide credit and debit cards within Europe without incurring any fees."

They also give a very good rate of exchange when using their bank cards to withdraw cash in Spain.

What is going on at theNationwide I have to ask?

I have just received my statement with new t&c's inside (no mention that I could see of about ending free foriegn transactions). The biggest thing I noticed is the interest is changing. We are now at (again) historically low interest rates, so what are they doing? Putting them up 1%!!! This is the same as American Express did last year, raising from 12.9%- 18.9%. Luckily I don't have outstanding balances, but that is a heck of a lot extra for some people to be paying!!
