[quote="Sandra"]Very Perflexed!!
Have just been using the Santander on-line banking facility! I got my 123 card with the sole purpose of no charges on withdrawal. I didn't receive any charges in September, when I was out there, but the website says that it will make charges for withdrawing money, but the leaflet on the 123 card says "We won't charge you when you use your debit card to withdraw cash at any Santander cash machine in the UK or Spain". Oh, for plain English!!

Could this be the new rules coming into Santander as well Sandra?. Our new charges have only just happened and as Spain is in such a financial turmoil all banks may start charging for Debit card withdrawals.
If only one bank did it then they would be taking the risk of losing custom to other banks but with all banks doing the same that wouldn't happen. It would certainly boost the banks' profits, even if we don't like it.
