Natwest banking outlines help for stranded holidaymakers

Thu 22nd Apr 2010

Travellers who are still stuck overseas due to the volcanic ash which has grounded many flights to the UK have been offered a helping hand by Natwest.

Customers with the bank will have any ATM charges for withdrawing money or fees for using credit cards in shops refunded under a new support package, the bank has revealed.

Those needing some extra cash for emergency spending while they are stranded abroad will also be able to make use of extended overdraft limits, with customers being made aware of the new measures via text message.

"We have developed our emergency support package to reflect ... the fact they'll be using their credit and debit cards more than usual to buy essentials such as food and drink," the bank explained.

Natwest recently revealed that Brits who have moved abroad believe that they enjoy a better quality of life in their new countries, with 90 per cent claiming they are financially secure.
