Was looking at the most convenient ways to get access to our cash whilst travelling in Oz & Nz. Came across the Halifax Clarity Credit Card which charges no fees on purchases abroad or even cash withdrawals. Interest is charged on withdrawals straight away but you can get around this by transferring money in before you leave.

Is there a more convenient & safer way to access your cash abroad?

Nationwide Flex account. I don't think they charge for any cash withdrawal.

I have an HSBC Advance account for £12 a month and I don't think I get charged either.

I`m pretty sure that if you bank with Santander and you use any of their cash machines abroad you don`t get charged.

I watched a watch dog the other week and the guy from moneysupermarket.com was on and said nationwide bank or credit cards are the best

I'd have a good look at some of the pre-paid cash cards, such as Travelex or CaxtonFX

CaxtonFX appear to have no charges and (along with Travelex) are a Which? "Best Buy"...

Certainly looks good to me!

I forgot about the travelex card I used this for my holiday in turkey, the cash machine in turkey let me draw English money so did just that and got a better exchange rate over there.

A friend charges cash to an 02 card when going abroad, dunno about being charged to withdraw with that tho.
