Using your UK bank account around the UK is fantastic due to the free withdrawals
at most ATM's. However, when you start going abroad your withdrawal fees can
become quite hefty and it is imperative that you check your fees with your bank
provider, whilst travelling.
A card such as a White Eagle is a good investment if you plan on travelling abroad frequently during your stay in the UK. It costs £9.99 or £4.95 to purchase a chip and pin protected White Eagle MasterCard or Maestro Card and has set fees for when you are aboard. For the Maestro Card it is £2.00 per withdrawal and £0 if used in a shop or online.
It is completely secure as it is a separate account to the one that you set up through 1st Contact and is good to use as a budgeting device when you are travelling.

The 1st Contact Travel Money Card is essentially a MasterCard debit card that saves you money when you travel to the US, Europe or South Africa. Your card is pre-loaded with US Dollars, Euros or South African Rands, so it acts just like a local card, saving you time, hassles and money.
