The max withdrawal in Europe is also £300 per day but when I need to make a transfer from my UK bank (Nationwide) of more than £300 I can draw up to 5,000, not sure euros or pounds but not much difference now, over the counter in my Spanish savings bank. I have done it on several occasions for amounts over £1,000 and either taken the cash or taken some I n cash and paid some into my account.

This may be possible in Phil as well. Has anybody tried ?

Am using my husbands Nationwide debit card and it only make me took around £300 or 20t pesos in a day not in a single ATM machine but u have to hop from one to another machine to accumulate the 20t pesos that means every withdrawal from a machine is another withdrawal charge

On the subject of Bank Charges: I've raised this issue before on the forum ... but believe it's worthy of mention again. Anyone contemplating taking Travellers Cheques in US dollars to the Phils would be well-advised to think again. The only place it seems to be possible to encash those, is Metrobank ... and THEY will charge $4 a time for the privilege; i.e., NOT per transaction - but for EACH CHEQUE exchanged.

So BE warned!

Its a CASH CARD, but the bad news is that from June they will start charging, unless we can change their mind.

So come on guys, even if you are not a customer a quick line to Nationwide please. Graham.Beale@nationwide.co.uk is their CEO.
