In 2018, we released some pretty shocking stats revealing that UK travellers are losing a whopping £125 million in fees by using their normal bank cards at overseas ATMs. Ouch.
The problem: if we’re not careful, it’s possible to be charged up to 4 separate times – for one. single. withdrawal with a typical bank card overseas. Yikes!
Avoiding these charges is one reason why we've worked so hard to keep ours as low as possible, and why any ATM withdrawals up to £200 a month are completely free with your WeSwap card - something you don't get with any other travel card.
But unfortunately, the card you use is just one factor.
In the interests of helping you keep your holiday budgets for important things, like poolside mojitos and second desserts, we've rounded up the four fees you should be looking out for when you withdraw overseas and put them in one handy infographic. Read on!
Whatever you do, remember that with your WeSwap card, withdrawals up to £200 a month cost nothing at all. Zero, zip, zilch. One handy step closer to helping you avoid these completely. Nice.
