Santander 123 Foreign Transaction Fees - A User's Perspective - QuentinMathew - 01-24-2025

I've been using the Santander 123 current account meantime, and I've noticed some relatively high fees associated with external transactions. Can you tell me more on those fees and how they're calculated?

I understand that there are foreign transaction fees field to all international transfers by the account - is that accurate? Are there any exceptions or distinct scenarios where the fee may possibly be waived?

What types of external transactions are covered by this fee - are there limits on the amount transferred, or restrictions based on the currency involved?

How does Santander handle foreign transaction reporting and compliance with regulations like Fatca (foreign Account Tax Compliance Act)? Does this affect the fee structure?
