Nationwide used to be good for using abroad a few years ago, not sure if they are still one of the best tho...

 

There are some good credit cards which give you the best rates abroad too...

will watch this thread for any useful advice on international banking.

 

I've always thought HSBC marketing themselves as "the world's local bank" would be the guys for this, You seen what they can offer?
