hmm i looked on the forum too thats why i decided to open one with them as usually take just cash, they did say i won't get charged for taking money out abroad when i opened the account... i hope they are right!

HSBC do charge We just come back costs £2.43 each transaction when you withdraw cash from machines
Premier accounts do not have to pay charges Ok

[Pooise]

If you only opened a normal hsbc bank account you will be charged min 1.75 per withdrawal, however if you opened a bank account plus with them your withdrawals will be free, so will your travel insurance!!! I work for them

i bank with first direct part of hsbc and had free cash withdrawls last year at the hsbc cash machine in the centre

[Erik The Viking]

halifax was free for us last year.

[KerryM]

I have the hsbc plus account so should get it free

[JaxAngel]

yeah I opened a nationwide account 2 years ago and always transfer my money into there for my holidays, never had any problems with it

[WOMBLE]

We forgot our Nationwide card
Its in with Passports
We change up in bars and supermarkets
ran out used HSBC card

[Icmeler*wonderbabe]

I was charged one year for using my Halifax card to get money out. Also HSBC charged us £3 for taking out £200 over there, even from a HSBC account. I dont understand that though, HSBC have got banks over there so dont see why they should charge for taking money out.
