Information about fees for using your card abroad
If you use your debit card abroad, you'll incur a 2.99% foreign exchange charge. If you're getting cash over the counter at a bank (including Barclays), or using an ATM other than a Barclays ATM or those within the Global Alliance, you'll also be charged 2% of the transaction (minimum charge £1.50, maximum £4.50) and there may be other charges. See which banks are in our Global Alliance . The 2.99% foreign exchange charge is included in the exchange rate used by the card scheme to convert the currency amount into sterling on the day it processes the transaction.
2. Some branches may require advance notice if you request a cash amount over the counter that exceeds your daily ATM withdrawal limit.
