Can I use my Natwest Solo card in Ireland?

Question

I'm off to Southern Ireland (Kilkenny) next week and I need to make sure that I can use my Solo card over there?

Does anybody know?

Answer 1

Only if you're there.

Answer 2

On the back of your card you should have a couple of symbols.  I have got a Solo Card, on the back is the Maestro/cirrus Symbol, if the same symbol appears on any shop door/window you can use it anywhere.

Answer 3

If the card is badged as a Solo and nothing else, you won't be able to use it outside the UK. It may be badged as a Maestro or Cirrus card as well as a Solo card, in which case you will be able to use the card outside the UK where you see Maestro/Cirrus symbols. You really need to speak to your bank if you are unsure.

Answer 4

You need to check with your bank about the type of card. If you have a current account it'll probably work fine in ATMs. But Nat West will probably charge you for using it.
