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

BRILLIANT

I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER WITH NATIONWIDE, I'VE BEEN WITH THEM MY ENTIRE LIFE (LITERALLY) AND THEY HAVE THE BEST SERVICE! Reviewed on: 22nd November 2016

Great service - versatile account and up to the minute technology

Have been a customer for over 15 years and can only praise the good service Reviewed on: 21st November 2016

Reasonable service and products, overly cautious fraud processes.

I was recently the victim of credit card fraud and while I can appreciate the need to take appropriate action and validate who I am before dealing with me, Nationwide put a stop on my card, then took it off, then put it on again. It was an incompetent, slow and inconvenient process. Reviewed on: 19th November 2016

A current Account at Nationwide

A very approachable building society that has current accounts. Friendly and knowledgable. Reviewed on: 14th November 2016

No mess

Zero problems with them. Ever. Reliable above all else. Reviewed on: 14th November 2016

STAY AWAY FROM THIS BANK

After 10 years of my loyal high volume (£100K a year) custom received a letter from Nationwide saying "we reviewed your profile and decided to close down all your accounts with us. You have 60 days to draw down your money and make alternative arrangements." When contacted the bank refused to say why or by what criteria the decision was taken. In 10 years I have never defaulted on my cc payments or overdrawn. Shocking treatment by the bank that claims to be for its customers. Reviewed on: 4th November 2016

nationwide never again

i open an account with nationwide ,everything was fine ok i receive my sort code and nr account after that they call me on branch to check my id was ok and told me to wait 8 working days and i will receive the documents and card ,pin etc on my home,ok i wait 2 weeks nothing ,in a meantime i gave this sort code and nr account to my employer to pay my wage,and they cancel my account without any information,i was on branch and they confirm this so my money i think return to my employer,they told me that after i was accepted they make some checks and they are not confortable with this and closed my account without any explanation,so why they did not check this before to open and to be accepted.i mention here that i never have any bank account in uk before this one ,and my documents like ni,proof of adress and proof of work are ok because they accepted this when i was in branch to confirm my id and adress .so be aware and do not do the same mistake like me to open an account with nationwide Reviewed on: 30th October 2016

Rude staff, terrible Customer Services

After a minor problem with my credit card I went in branch to sort the problem out. Got shoved in a corner with a phone to try sort the problem out myself. Credit card company on the phone wanted to speak to someone in branch to sort the problem out, however no one was around to speak to and when I did manage to get someone the really couldn't have been less bothered. Hung up and went back to the main desk where the rudeness continued. So if you would like to be treated as something that was dragged in on the bottom of your shoe stay with the bank that is Never on your side Reviewed on: 12th September 2016

Brilliant Service

Transferred an account to the Nationwide have received nothing but excellent service. Have had to contact customer service a couple of times when I was clarifying some points of the account and everyone was knowledgeable and helpful. Reviewed on: 11th September 2016

It works - simply

I have used the Flex plus roadside car service twice - and they are excellent, I also had a mobile phone claim that was dealt with really quickly. Reviewed on: 18th August 2016
