For, example, if you spend the local equivalent of \u00a3250, you'll be charged \u00a30.00. \n<\/p>\n\n<p>Because it's a Visa, you'll find it's accepted pretty much anywhere that takes card payments.<\/p>\n<p>Compare options for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/travel-money\">keeping costs down when spending abroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\">How much does it cost to withdraw cash overseas using the Nationwide student debit card?<\/h4>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>You'll pay a currency conversion fee of 0%. For, example, if you take out the equivalent of \u00a3150, you'll be charged \u00a30.00. Withdraw 250 euros (that's around \u00a3216.47) at an ATM in Paris and it'll cost you \u00a30.00.

While the opening interest-free overdraft limit is capped at \u00a31,000, this increases to a maximum of \u00a33,000 in year three. Check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/current-accounts\/student-bank-accounts\">full comparison of student accounts<\/a> to see the interest-free overdrafts available to UK students with a breakdown of each account's limit in each year of your course.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<h3>Our verdict<\/h3><p>An interest-free overdraft is one of the most beneficial aspects of a student account, and few accounts can compete with Nationwide on this front. Not only does this account offer a large 0% overdraft, but it will remain interest-free for 3 years after you graduate. You can also take advantage of no fees on overseas spending. <\/p><article class=\"luna-card luna-card--alt\"><div class=\"luna-card__block has-padding-small\">We show offers we can track - that's not every product on the market...yet.
