bummer, I remember this from years ago, working out that just taking money out of a Flexaccount abroad was rather cheaper than all the other Foreign currency options  I recall trying to get this confirmed by Nationwide who were rather reluctant to admit it really. They would much rather have told travellers cheques. |

No, they were the only ones. I am told that around one million UK pensioners, now living abroad, use flex accounts for their banking, that is a lot of customers to piss off! |

On the other hand, that's 1 million customers some other bank could snap up if they had any sense. |
