Hello,

I am setting off soon on a trip to Vietnam and Bali. I was wondering what my best option is for a travel debit card, preferably one with low or zero cost for withdrawal fees?

Thanks so much in advance,

Will

I'm not sure about the best one for withdrawals I'm afraid, but if you will be in areas that accept card, I can highly recommend the Halifax Clarity credit card. It offers no foreign transaction fees and extremely competitive exchange rates. Also, if lost, credit cards are slightly more secure. Have fun!

I personally use the Halifax Clarity for zero worldwide payments and zero cross-border and ATM fees. You need internet banking though to keep your ATM withdrawal fees at zero.
Look here for a thorough review of UK cards.

Hmmm - why did you post in Central Asia - you're not going anywhere near Central Asia! Re your question - it's impossible advise not knowing your country - but for New Zealander's I recently reviewed options http://listraveltips.com/best-currency-card-for-travel/
