Friends
Digesting all this am I right in saying that if you have a Nationwide Flex Account you get, not only a good exchange rate, but also avoid any commission charges from the Bank?
Thanks

Well done! a good addition to the facillities already offered. Will save me the usual nightmare trip to Sidari.

See you in July.

Terlikitis< yes we think so, we took the card out just for that reason, going to try it in May let you know when statement comes in, but it is just nice to know we have not got go into town. regardless it is so handy. thanx to all.

well done to all involved, a much needed asset to arillas

I just hope it doesn't run out when i need it most lol

[eve]

Yes we took nationwide out for that reason too! We are going to try in May also, but may not be able to post as we may be moving to Corfu end June/ July. but will let Dimitris know if we incur any costs so he can inform the forum. To be honest even if there is a reasonable charge from the asset, at least you know there is not two bites of the cherry! We have been told there are banks in Agros also that the card can be used in.

How brilliant!! This was our 3rd visit to Arillas and it was wonderful to be able to get at funds as and when we needed them without worrying about getting to Sidari to draw cash. Well done everyone who helped to make this possible. We adore Arillas and cant wait to return later this year. Much love to all, Julie and Michaelxx

when we were there last week Mr Hedgehog said go and use the machine but read it carefully, so I did, I was in stitches, it says "if your card gets captured" it just brought to mind a cartoon charater of a of a card with little sticky legs waiving its little arms in the air running down the road saying You cant catch me.  Viv.

We have just opened a Nationwide account for our hols.  They said that they are the only bank that doesn't charge.  I am with the halifax and there charges were OTT.  Not long now.

I think alot of people are going to be getting a Nationwide holiday account !!

I used the ATM in Arillas last week and have just checked my bank statement. I am with HSBC and was charged £1.75 for the transaction (better than I thought as in other countries it has been as much as £2.50) but the exchange rate was only 1.43 whereas in all the exchange places in the village they were giving 1.45 (but charging commission). My maths isn't very good but it certainly wouldn't be worth withdrawing small amounts.

May just have to open a Nationwide holiday account.....
