Sending money home

[joebloggs]

I did say it was a CASH CARD so it can only be used to draw cash from an account which is in credit, and I also said I have an account which I use exclusively for that purpose.
.

i thought of using a cash card, but what if they lost the card or the card wouldn't work any more, i would have to get and wait for a replacement card, then send it to the phils..that would probably never happen, but

also i take it, i would need to change my current account to Nat West one, if i wanted to transfer money instantly from one nat west account to the Nat West Cash Card account, if not then it could take 3 or so working days for the money to clear from a non Nat west account to the Nat West Cash card account, while using PNB the money is in the account in the phils next day if i phone using a debit card.

Joe. I was talking about Nationwide not Nat West. I don't think they give their customers the good deal which one gets with Nationwide. As I said the exchange rate is the best one could hope to get, no charge at all and instantly available cash in Phil.

Of course if a card got lost then one would need to get it replaced. If one lives in UK that would be easier than for me in Spain.

I have used the CASH CARD system for over 3 years, once had to send the the new card out.

Before I met my wife, I had a Thai gf. I gave her a CASH CARD which she too used for about a year without any problems.

I have never had any problems.

sorry thats what i mean't , little joe is giving me a hard time ..

what i posted its still true, i would need to change my current account to a nationwide one, or you will have to wait 3 or so days for the money to transfer from your current account to your Cash card account if your current account is not a nationwide one?

I guess so, but if urgent you could pay money into the account, I would think.

I changed my account from Midland Bank as it was at the time to Nationwide, maybe 25 years ago. Best thing I ever did. Just wish the Spanish bank gave the high quality of service Nationwide do and for free !
