Using your credit card abroad

The Nationwide Select Credit Card features commission-free purchases abroad. Quite simply all purchases overseas will be free of any commission charges.

To compare the costs of using different Nationwide cards abroad, please see the using your cards abroad page.

Purchases and cash machine withdrawals

If you carry out a transaction using your card in a currency other than sterling, it will be converted to sterling on the day the transaction is processed by our card scheme providers at a wholesale rate of exchange. For an indication of that exchange rate, you can see the Visa wholesale rate of exchange at www.visaeurope.com/fxcalculator. This is an "indication" because transactions are processed when the retailer passes them on to the scheme provider, which is generally not on the same day the transaction took place.

The savings figures indicate the interest saving over the stated 0% introductory periods compared to your current APR. If applicable, a balance transfer fee of 3.1% (£5.00 minimum) is included. The calculator assumes a constant account balance and interest charged from account opening.

The earnings figure indicates the amount of cashback awarded annually based on you receiving 0.5% cashback on all your sterling purchases.
