This has been a sore point with me for ages. Maybe there is no choice but asking anyway. Just wondering if its free with any bank to withdraw money from ATM in another currency or even use debit card in another currency.
I live on border and spend a fair bit of money in north. Try not to withdraw money as it seems to cost me a fortune eash time. However sterling is hard to come by so always end up using Laser Card however still charged for pleasure.
Also just returned from holiday in USA. Hard enough saving for holiday and making up spending money and unfortunatley maxed out Credit Card (Only allowed €500 limit) so had to use Debit Card. Just checked and seems i was charged alost €40 for using Debit Card.
With Bank of Ireland by way and really tempted to change.
Any idea on bank which would suit? Between myself and wife we have 6 accounts with Bank. Personal account each, Savings Account each, Joint Account and Joint Savings Account. Although not much when put together, very awkward changing banks but due to where i live, have no choice spending in North and would love to avoid or pay less of these charges.
