Anyone out there have experience of using a debit card to transfer cash to a foreign bank????
I want to transfer sterling in UK to a dutch bank and convert into Euros using a Nationwide FlexAccount Visa debit card. The reason is that the NW debit card does foreign currency transactions at the market rate - there is no charge or loading on the exchange rate - so an approx 2-3% better rate than using a normal bank to bank transfer. On a large sum, that is a reasonable saving.
I guess it depends on the dutch bank being able to take a debit card payment.
