Consumers planning on making a trip abroad over the Easter period are being encouraged to avoid the “unnecessary” charges that may be imposed upon them when making debit and credit card transactions.
Research carried out by Nationwide shows that the 15 million Britons who travelled abroad over the Easter period last year wasted nearly £16 million in charges imposed upon them by financial providers.
Jeremy Wood, divisional director at Nationwide, said: “People who are planning to go abroad this Easter should be aware of the hidden charges that most card providers impose which are both costly and unnecessary.”
“Anyone using a Nationwide debit or credit card will not be charged any foreign usage fees on purchases and will therefore have extra money to enjoy while on holiday,” he added.
With over 24 million Visa outlets around the globe, Nationwide also claims consumers will have no trouble accessing cash when they go abroad
