Mister Matty, I should be grateful if you would post an internet address where we can read up on this. I did a check on the Nationwide site and could not find anything about it. Maybe it's too early in the morning for me !!!!!
As far as I know, THEIR VISA CASH CARD (NOT DEBIT CARD) is fine, still free at Nationwide and free in Philippines as long as an ATM with VISA SYMBOL ic used. Other banks, BPI, Metro-bank etc charge 3.40$ US, so avoid them.
There is a web site which shows where visa ATMs are worldwide. If you show the country and the town/city it will show where the VISA ATMs are:- http://visa.via.infonow.net/locator/global/
