Switching to Nationwide was the best decision ever I switched to Nationwide a few years ago after poor service from a bank I had been with for over 40 years. It was the best decision I have ever made. Reviewed on: 21st July 2025

Always a great experience and very helpful. The only reason i haven't given full marks is because overdraft fees have gone up by a fair bit. Reviewed on: 28th December 2019

Dreadful

1
Their fraud department rejected a large but bona fide sum of money. No one at Nationwide had any idea where it was - the receiving bank eventually got it back once they knew it was missing. Customer service was appalling - they couldn’t have cared less.. I made a formal complaint and they then sent a blank copy of the complaints response letter.! I wrote to the CEO with no reply either. There has been a litany of issues with Nationwide over the last five years - very disappointing . Reviewed on: 17th December 2019

User friendly, life long customer .

5
In most high streets where there are no banks. Internet banking is very user friendly and experienced very few, if any problems. Reviewed on: 14th December 2019

Disappointed with charges

3
I banked with Nationwide for about 11 years, until very recently. The service I’ve received from Nationwide has always been good, and the staff in branch are always great, but the charges levied on my account were ridiculous. I’m self employed with no fixed pay date, so I’m a typical month I was being charged around £60 for missing direct debits. I understand the reasoning, but the amount is ridiculous. As a result I’ve fallen behind on my bills, had more charges and so on. I’m reluctant to recommend Nationwide based on this. Reviewed on: 14th December 2019

Friendly and convenient

5
I moved from another bank because of increasingly poor and distant service. I couldn’t be happier with the move. A smaller company, better service and a more personal interaction. Exactly what I was missing at my last bank. Reviewed on: 12th December 2019
