NATWEST BANK

[unforgettable fire 2]

[...] everytime I draw money from the cash point I get charged twice (in total about £4). I believe an international transfer would be cheaper (between £10 or £20).

That's interesting, I could have sworn I saw a TV ad for Natwest the other day that said they don't charge for transactions abroad, although perhaps that was on a Natwest creditcard or doesn't apply to money withdrawals or something.

Or I completely misheard! Wouldn't be the first time.

Everytime I draw cash in Wells Fargo, using my Maestro (debit card) Natwest Bank, I get charged first $3 by Wells Fargo and around £2 by Natwest. I also have a Visa and a Mastercard with Natwest and I do get charged a little bit everytime I make a purchase. Go figure! I guess this is how the banks make the most money!

I do get free commission on currency exchange, but that is not helping me right now...

I'm really going to try what 'Boiler' is suggesting and see if I can get a big chuck transferred to my Wells Fargo account. It'll be cheaper in the long run!

Once again thank you guys for the help!!!

Blimey, Wells Fargo charged you as well as Natwest? When I withdrew some money out at WF last November, it was only Barclays that charged me (about £2 for withdrawing £150).

Banks :/
