Best Australian debit card for overseas cash withdrawals?

[bernardblack]

Is Citi Plus still the best option for overseas cash? Obviously I haven't done a lot of international travel since 2019.

If I have to open some other account it might be time to get started, since we depart in five weeks.

(I'm set for FX-fee-free purchases, with a US Amex Gold backed with a Coles Rewards Mastercard and a Bundll account which charges to my Dragon Visa.)

Call me simple but I am not going to monitor currency movements during the day on my holiday!

A lot of people do! Especially if they have big expenses eg hotel payments.

If it’s just meals etc, not worth worrying about.

But as I said “It is what it is”. I monitor but don’t stress.

I'm going to kill my Commbank awards card soon ... guess I'll have to do some research now about forex free options urgh. Have HSBC global account and Bankwest debit which from memory will work.

The short list preferred Debit Cards have been mentioned several times upthread. Macquarie Bank is definately there.

We still throw anything we can on 28° MC while they continue to waive the monthly fee*

*hmm, I’ve lost track of where that stands…

Isn't the BW Platinum credit card a good option?
