Santander credit card: Foreign exchange savings

Monday, 07 December 2009 12:00

Santander is promoting its Zero credit card to skiers as a method of saving money on foreign exchange fees during their winter break.

The card offers free foreign usage anywhere in the world, which Santander said could come as a welcome bonus at a time when winter sports holidays are costing more than ever.

Research by the credit card provider found prices are higher than at any time since the turn of the Millennium, with the average winter sports break costing £686.

Emma Roberts, director at Santander cards, said: "One way that holidaymakers can avoid unnecessary additional costs is to use a credit card that doesn't charge them a fee on transactions made in foreign currency.

"The Santander Zero card has no foreign exchange fee on spending anywhere in the world, making it ideal for holidaymakers looking for the best deal on their spending this winter."
