For holidaymakers preparing for the trip away, economic experts have advised brushing up on debit and credit card charges before travelling.
It’s easy for travellers to fall into the trap of using their debit cards without realising the hidden costs attached.
Many UK debit cards not only charge a load and ATM fee but also charge up to £1.50 every time you spend on them.
This means, after loading and spending fees, a £5 transaction could cost you £6.65.
While an extra £1 here or there doesn’t seem too troublesome, this would soon add up over the course of a holiday.
A recent survey released by WeSwap announced that holidaymakers wasted £125 million on unnecessary ATM holiday fees last year.
