The ban on surcharge only came in this year.
It doesn't stop foreign credit card transactions from being charged currency surcharges either, which is likely the bigger cost for UK travellers.
If you really are concerned about credit card charges abroad, use something like Starling Bank, who charge no fees on any use of their Mastercard abroad, EU or otherwise Black 05 TDV6 HSE Auto

Dave T wrote:some bank cards offer zero cost for foreign transactions wherever they may be made now, is there going to be a law made to make them charge????? It may even help reduce charges.......
The government has assessed what they consider real risks and that is what they have reported. Certain things also in some agreements like those might stop or might come as a cost for some and it will be up to the businesses to see how they will absorb the changes (it might become unsustainable for some company to offer 0 costs and whilst companies cannot change laws they can certainly change contracts and offered different conditions vs the past)
For now what has been considered as a real risk is that there might be increases in costs if that ultimately results in reduction of costs is more than what somebody would consider an anecdote It takes all sorts (to make a world).

Before the UK Referendum Donald Tusk said a vote to leave the EU would boost anti-European forces. “As a historian I fear Brexit could be the beginning of the destruction of not only the EU but also Western political civilization in its entirety,”
err... not too sensationalist!

Who's to say Donald Tusk won't be proved right in the future. Maybe not in my lifetime, but according to Jacob Rees-Mogg the benefits of the UK leaving the EU won't be fully seen in my lifetime either.

Closing this until I've decided IF there will a new Brexit discussion.
At the moment that isn't the case, so please don't bring it up in a new thread or elsewhere. 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
