Warning.....(maybe)

Hi again..I use my Nationwide Flex(savings)cash account card (the one with CIRRUS on it) and the Nationwide do stil notl charge anything for using it..Worldwide..but the ATM needs to show the CIRRUS sign on the front and the BDO ATM's do...got myself worried so I emailed my sister in law who works at the Nationwide in the UK, and she put me straight on what I can do abroad with my card. She just stippulated that the CIRRUS card is the only one that I can use and accrue no charges from Nationwide....although I have come accross some ATM's I can use here but they charge up to 150p each time I use them, so I steer clear of them...Sorry if I caused any confussion, just wanted people to be aware of the dangers of the ATM's here....

From what you say then there must be at least two possibility for free use of CASH CARDS, as the one the relatives have in Pinas does not have a 'Cirrus' symbol on it, it has a 'Visa' and, as I have said above, when used in an ATM with the visa symbol it use is free at the ATM and in the flex account, when used in a Cirrus, as conformed by the email copied above from BPI there is a charge.
