Are there any banks in Spain which do not charge for withdrawing currency from a Caxton card ?
Last year there were a couple but they are now charging 3% or more, we are here for 12 months and need to withdraw money regularly, which is the best currency card?

As at last November, la caixa were not charging, unless it has now changed of course. I have been using a Caxton card at la caixa for a number of years without any charges.

I use Fairfx, always charged 1.50e per transaction but usually withdraw the max. allowed by the bank.
Have used many different Spanish banks for withdrawals and same transaction charge.
I often think of getting a Caxton one as well as a backup.

Just been and used my daughter's Caxton card (the old one before they changed them to Mastercard) and it downloaded without charging commission so it looks like it might be a problem with my card. I have now contacted Caxton to find out what the problem is. The card works fine on making purchases so it is just the using it at the bank that is the problem.

Re: Banks in Spain who do not charge for Caxton currency at
First time I have managed to get to the internet to respond about this problem but it turns out that there was nothing wrong with the card it was the fact that since the introduction of the new Caxton Mastercard they have lowered the withdrawal amounts limit from 500 euros per day to a maximum of £300 per 24 hr period in any currency. So my card wouldn't work because I was asking for my usual 500 euros which was over the limit so it was being rejected. It might have helped if the ATM gave out the response that pointed this out but it didn't, it took me to the last screen then told me to contact my branch. Not very helpful, I only found out by contacting Caxton direct.
Problem sorted ! Thanks to all who responded.
