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

This is quite interesting. I think I will stick with my Nationwide account, which is totally free.

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.
