Using Caixabank card in Italy

Using Caixabank card in Italy

Postby TKD50 » Mon Jul 01, 2019 9:02 am

I cant get sense from the website at Caixabnak, so am turning to our friends on here.

I am going to Italy later in the year and want to use my Spanish bank card as its euros. Its just a normal bank card rather than credit card
Can anyone tell me if there is a charge per transaction and approximately how much if there is ?

Thanks in advance

Yes, there will be a charge. Sometimes levied by your own bank and by the bank you are withdrawing money from.
We used our Spanish (Bankia) card in Italy and were charged 1.5% at one bank but a different one had the charge at 4% (you can opt for the instructions in English so, if the commission is too high, cancel it and try another one)

When we got back, Bankia had charged us 1% on top for "foreign withdrawal" so it cost 2.5% of the amount we withdrew.

Even using a card in Spain will attract charges if you don't use one linked to your card. Caixa bank wanted a staggering 10 euro to draw 100 euro from their machine at L'Aljub centre in Elche and we cancelled immediately as we though 10% was very steep. Ended up using the debit card to make a purchase.
