Sachi Sachi Topic creator Posts: 6	I will be going to Paris on a school trip and I was wondering whether I can use my NatWest debit card abroad? I know its something to do with the sign and that as long as you find that sign you can use it abroad also, but I was wondering how much will I by charged? Is it easier to change money here and then not use my card at all?

You wont be charged for using your card in a shop but if you take money out then sometimes there is some kind of commission but I don’t really know how this works. But yes you can use your card in France, wherever the Visa or Maestro sign is, depending on which card you have.
