I have been a natwest customer in-excess of 40 years and barring a single altercation 30 a more years ago, there service has been better than satisfactory. However, they have just sent me a replacement debit card with a visa brand. I rang and explained I did'nt want this I wanted to retain my maestro version, which still has 18months to run, but they insisted it would be superseded shortly.
You may already know but if you buy foriegn currency via a high street or internet forex exchange using a maestro card, you pay no interest charge, but use visa and the rate can be anything from 2% to 4%.
Question: Which debit card continues to offer maestro?
