I’m travelling to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 and in order to rent a car they require a security deposit held on a credit card I was wondering would starling be sufficient?

The fees arent high enough to warrant all the hassle

On standard Barclays debit card you can add money into a travel wallet and spend like normal with the same card Obviously don't get the 1 cash back like you do with Chase, good to know!

When I'm in Mexico for a month I'll be using a Mexican SIM card, does that mean I won't be able to use the Starling app to control my account? Also my smartphone I can't just switch SIM cards randomly, a specialist engineer is needed to open and shut the phone, it can't be opened by an ordinary person Iwon't be able to switch SIM cards

My Currensee card got me out of a hole at an unmanned petrol station in Iceland last year My Chase card kept being declined, due, as I found out later, to insufficient funds being available at the time to be blockedbrMy Currensee card, linked to my HSBC account which had plenty of money in it, worked fine thoughbrOn a recent holiday in Portugal I used my Starling Bank debit card linked to a Euro account, loaded when the exchange rate was about €119 quite some time ago

It would be really interesting to hear how easy getting a result from section 75 is in reality I've never known anyone actually use it Could you cover this topic pls
Comment from : @manymoms920

thank you for the video i always use my revolut card when i am travelling but still the fees on many atms are just immense, there is an app called atm fee saver, its quite handy because its shows atm around with low fees i also heard aboout charles schwab as an option

I hate saying this but cash is king
Comment from : @SS-mf5bz

Thailand beware do not use your debit card or credit card in the hole in the wall charges high
Comment from : @SS-mf5bz

Mastercard used in Malaysia no charge good rate happy days lol oh yes used in hope in the wall
Comment from : @SS-mf5bz

I wouldn't outside Europe use my card specially in Asia cause they skim the card when your not aware or looking big no no for me specially in Thailand and Vietnam be ware
Comment from : @SS-mf5bz

Curve only, associated to plutus card all the time, UK and abroad Except weekends abroad, in which case I use Wise There is no better combination imo
Comment from : @simonebruschi9793

Good video, I use Chase and Starling and Wise for overseas travel Something you failed to mention, most cards have a maximum daily ATM withdrawal limit, if it hasn't changed most are £300 but Chase was £500 for ATM's that charge a fixed withdrawal fee it is better to take out £500
Comment from : @brib6194

Revolut too many scare stories and I think I’m right no UK Banking Licence
Comment from : @allendavid4139

The HSBC global money account is good for people already with HSBC
Comment from : @ajaydhillon

Hello, Andy, thank you for your videos! I am planning to buy some stuff in a foreign country so it's best for me to keep some savings in US dollars as I am going to spend US dollars and also transfer money to other foreign accounts nominated in US dollars Could you, please, film a video on foreign currency bank accounts (USD especially, which accounts are best to open in terms of account maintenance fees and money transfer fees, easiness-of-use, current exchange rates etc) if this sounds interesting enough for you? Thank you!
Comment from : @yevhenharmash1556

Halifax Clarity was my first specialist travel card, now using Curve X with underlying cards for cash back apart from at weekends due to 05-15 fee when abroad
Comment from : @Will_3rd

Ok👌
Comment from : @Happychappys

Regarding the card you use, Barclays Rewards CC You will still get charged interest from the day you withdraw cash though right? You won't get charged transaction fee but aren't cash withdrawals charged interest from the day you withdraw?
Comment from : @rutube007

Revolut is my number one choice for spending all over the world I'm on the Metal plan Worth it for people that travel a lot
Comment from : @TomJamesOfficial

When I travel which is not very much these days, br I use Chase, Barclaycard rewards, and hyperJar

Would be good a video about Kroo :)
Comment from : @gheitor

Wise is much better than all these for overseas, and they have assets which gives you instant access, deposit protection up to 85k and a rate very close to the BOE The MasterCard and visa rate is not that close to the mid market rate most of the time also Wise gives you the mid market rate plus a tiny fee
Comment from : @paudieoc1234

Thanks andy great video Starling chase fantastic i use them both getting cashback on chase euro spending Wise is very good using their jars not sure if wise is better than chase for spending abroad because of chase cashback
