My atm card used to just be a Switch debit card - I could use it to buy online (or in regular high street shops for that matter), but only if it was in UK pounds.

Switch has always been able to be used for different currencies. The problem is banks tend to be more expensive when using it like that - they'll charge you a fee to convert the funds, use their own (worse) exchange rate and round up to the nearest pound to boot. It wasn't bad with the Doms 3 pre-order (though it was a Maestro by then), but I remember buying something for $20 (about £15 at the time) around 6 years ago with Switch, and finding that the cost including the bank's fees was somewhere in the region of £25.
