Just went on the nationwide site and nothing about the charges for using your debit cards, still saying no charges to use your card abroad.

Don't get too excited - there seems to be a delay on fully updating their site. If you look under "Current Account" and "Account Benefits" it still says commission free abroad - but if you click on Foreign Transactions it clearly says the charges on debit cards (ie Flexaccount) start on June 1st. But you are correct - Turkey is one of those where the fee doesn't apply.
It is still commission free. The 0.84%(and 1% from July) is the charge Visa makes which NW has absorbed up till now. Remember that this is also only for certain currencies. Check link below for the country you are visiting

Well i only have basic flex account with cash card so no charges for me at the moment 
Does the basic cash card actually work abroad? Their website sort of implies that you need a debit card for foreign use.

Correct Steve
The basic cash card can't be used in foreign ATM's as per the website
sorry you are wrong as we used our basic account cash card in india in feb this year with no problems,after asking nationwide if it would work abroad .
Yes; got to agree with you Lizzley; Ma in law used her basic cash card to withdraw money in Beni last November after asking in branch if she could 
They've obviously changed the rules since my sister worked there in 2008 
The basic cash card is predominantly for people on benefits, under 18s or pensioners and didn't feature the facility to withdraw cash abroad. The reason your not affected by the charges is because it's not a Visa card/debit card

I knew the reason why the charges didn't affect me,i was just giving correct information for others on the forum,which is just as, well because you could have caused a rush of applications for debit cards 
ps; not on benefits,a pensioner or under 18 (i wish)

Just what Nationwide states on their website if you care to checkps; not on benefits,a pensioner or under 18 (i wish)
And why wouldn't people want a debit card ? Feel much safer with a card than cash especially abroad
your missing the point all am saying is you can use a basic Nationwide cash card so there is no need to get a debit card especially since they are free to use. 
Outside Europe (EU?) a charge is applied to cash withdrawls. This used to be absorbed by nationwide but now applies to the customer.
At the moment this charge is 0.84%
Mods merge if neccessary
