Use your Visa debit card for shopping and cash withdrawals abroad, just as you do at home, wherever you see the Visa symbol. There are fees for using your debit card abroad. See full details on debit card charges. Silver, Gold, Platinum and Premier current accounts: We won't charge our debit card fees when you use your debit card for these accounts at home or abroad.
We also won’t charge these fees in relation to other current accounts you hold, for your selected weeks if you have Travel Smart added to the account.
Just a few reasons for using your debit card abroad:
- Accepted all over the world
- No need to carry large amounts of cash
- Get an automatic record of the transaction
- Protection against fraud for any unauthorised spending
- Shop online in any currency (although fees apply)
You can use your debit card to withdraw money at a cash machine or over the counter at any bank displaying the Visa symbol. You can withdraw money up to your limit in pounds as long as you have cleared available funds in your account. You’ll need to know your PIN and have some ID (a valid passport will do) when you withdraw money from a bank.
