never used WU, never will

misses family can wait a day, i'm not wasting £40-£50 just to transfer money, did that many years ago, £5 is all i pay now

good old pnb

I agree! £5 is still the best deal.

I'm looking into the nationwide card for my friend, which is exchange rate fee free overseas. It might beat PNB. But the card owner issue might be a issue. Hmm..??

it depends on what exchange rate nationwide give you, not much is free these's days, especially from a bank

The exchange rate on using a N/W debit card in Phils is very good - usually better than the PNB rate for the day.

However, I have a problem with N/W ... my card expired at the end of July - I received a new PIN and waited, patiently to receive tha card. In the end I called N/W only to be told that they will not send the card to Phils ... I have to visit a branch (only in the UK?) to collect my card!

Thanks Peter. My colleagues told me the same too, but the rate changes everyday and follows the bank's exchange rates which are really good.
I'm going to give it a try for my next holiday. I suspect that its better than PNB too.
