| Here are a couple of threads where this matter is being discussed Moneysaving expert - Budgeting & Bank Accounts Moneysaving expert - Savings & Investments I have praised this card from the hilltops, to all travellers, but it seems that all good things must come to an end  |

| Just to clarify - if you are in India and using this card at an ATM there will be no 'ATM of another bank' fee, only the 1% fee, no foreign exchange fee either? |

| If you are a regular traveller. Why not open a local account and transfer money into that account. You will not have bank charges then or ATM fees for withdrawals.
