First Direct SCRAPS fees for oversea spending and cash withdrawals for debit card holders

First Direct is no longer charging its customers for using their debit cards when abroad.

The bank stopped charging customers a non-sterling transaction fee as well as a non sterling cash fee on June 28, according to MoneySavingExpert.com.

Previously, customers received a 2.75% mark-up when customers made a purchase on their card or when they made cash withdrawals in foreign currencies.
