Just curious, does your bank charge when you withdraw money from an ATM in a foreign country?

Both my German and my UK accounts charge when i withdraw abroad. €3.50 for every transaction on my German account, not sure about my UK one. I know taking out as much money as possible it a way of stopping that, but being in 7 different countries sometimes just for short times, like i was on my trip, thats not really useful. i lost at least €30 on withdrawals. It really pisses me off, especially when its the same bank, in the same currency!

I know that Nationwide (UK Bank) doesnt charge you, i think thats the only UK one that doesnt. anyone know of any others?

Sorry, that was meant to go in the Money matters forum!
