The Santander Edge Debit Card costs £3 per month and pays no rewards on spending, so it is really a card you take abroad rather than one to use as an everyday earner at home. On the Mastercard network it sits practically nothing off the real exchange rate, which we measure as matching the best cards available. I think the monthly fee is the genuine catch here, because alternatives like the Co-operative Bank Debit Card offer no foreign fees without a standing charge. This card suits someone already holding a Santander Edge current account who travels regularly enough to justify that £3.
