| been with natwest for over 20yrs, never had a problem. The only time i could not use a card abroad was when i rang em as i could not find my card on holiday and thought i had lost it. They told me that there had been no usage on the card but advised it be stoped it as a precaution (which we did). i found it 2 days later at the back of the safe deposit box under the rubber mat Oh well, had a new card waiting for me when i got back home.

| What bollox! They must be able to do something?? Don't all debit cards say in their little book can be used a 'x' hundred thousand cash machines etc worldwide! I don't recall seeing this after it - If you ever dare travel outside the EU, try and use one of these cash machines, we will chew it up, stop the transaction and make your holiday hell! Whoop Whoop! Must admit though, ive used my debitcard all over europe, even in the Dominican Republic and never had it blocked. Btw i'm with RBS who are part of the same group! Hope you get on ok when you're out there Digs! Powelly |

| as far as I remember, if you go next door to Lloyds with your last 3 pay slips, a copy of your statements and an explanation of what t#ssers your current bank are, they should welcome you with flowers and a steak dinner. Give it a go. That said, my dad has the same problem EVERY TIME he visits me here, and he's with lloyds. We can guarentee he'll be on the phone to them on day 2 of the trip. Every trip. S

Oh, and just at the end of the call, after hours of fighting with them, they decide to tell me that it won't happen with my Credit Card. What? Oh, because it's a different company, and they are reasonable people. I give up. I hate having credit card debt, don't want to pay the interest and fees, but they won't let me use my debit card. What cunts. Sorry for the language, but the business deserves to fail. And I'm going to do what I can to help that along. I'm almost tempted to hand my card to a street kid over there and tell him to go enjoy himself, and if it slips the net he can spend for days. They told me it would be stopped, so no-one could fraudulently use my card. I thought my card was safe and mysteriously didn't bother answering the phone. Digs. |

I'm sure if I was having problems like you are then I would be taking my balance to the next bank that wants to try and keep me happy.... I'm a nice easy customer though.... all my banking online, very seldom visit branches to pay cheques in and a nice healthy balance supplimented by a healthy salary paid in every month! ![]() |

| I use both Nationwide and Natwest (as a backup) current accounts while abroad, Nationwide don't charge fees for cash or purchases and you get a good exchange rate, Natwest charge every time you use it, and that can add up over 2 weeks away just to get to your money, weather its Euros, Dollars or Pounds, it's another ripoff!!! rant over!

| Mate, it must be something to do with the type of account you have as there was no problem with me using my card in Florida last year. Juz

| Get yourself a Nationwide card. Not only do they have no problem with me using it anywhere in the world, they don't charge for cash withdrawals and they don't screw you for 2.75% on the exchange rate like most of the rest of the tossers. Jason

To be fair, presumably they weren't saying your account would be blocked as soon as you used it abroad? Were they??
