Nationwide FlexAccount reviews (1066)

Their branch network is a big plus point

4
Nationwide continue to have many branches and remain committed to them. Their products are competitive and their online accounts are easy to use but secure. They used to try upselling a lot but this seems to have declined which is good. The Flexaccount product has met our needs for many years and is free to use. Reviewed on: 25th March 2026

Best Bank I have ever dealt with.

5
I have only had my Nationwide accounts for about 1 year and they are the most helpful bank i have ever had. I can pop into my local for any problem or advice. Take out money easy over the counter. Great help with investment account set up. Reviewed on: 25th March 2026

Reliable bank with less service than an internet bank.

3
Have banked with Nationwide for decades without any issues. Two criticisms: They do not participate in the scheme which allows cash/cheque payments to be made into the Post Office as supported by other banks which is important to me as my nearest Branch is a 60 mile round trip away. Also, Nationwide is impossible to contact by phone and the FAQ/chatbot is completely useless. When a human operator is reached they invariably to tell you to call another seemingly unmanned number, say they have no visibility of my account details or advise me to visit a local Branch. The staff at Branches cannot help with anything as they are just there to sell product. I summary generally a reliable bank with systems that work well but customer service when there are problems is dire. Reviewed on: 25th March 2026

Simple to use and reliable.

FlexAccount is simple to use and reliable. The banking app works well but it used to show you a breakdown of categories of spends which was helpful. Reviewed on: 25th March 2026
