Bank charges - UK Banks
We spent far too much on our first trip on bank charges, even though we tried to manage it very carefully. At the time we had Oz bank accounts.
The first trip was in a 4x4, so we had loads of places to hide money. The next trip is on bicycles, which means we'll have to visit atms more frequently, resulting in more bank charges.
We have UK bank accounts at the moment, and will be travelling with GBP.
Does anyone know of any good deals at the moments with banks here in the UK with reduced (reasonable) fees for international transcations?
I just looked at the charges on my current bank (hsbc) and they are shocking to say the least.
FYI, the trip will be in China, SE Asia, India and Nepal.
Most of the transactions will be ATM withdrawels.
Thanks
