I get excellent interest and rates at nationwide. The app however is a little tricky and you can only pay a new person by using a computer rather than just the app. Reviewed on: 26th November 2017

A good place to bank

I have banked with Nationwide for many years. I have found them to be straightforward, helpful and honest. They always try to help, and have specialist staff who are easy to contact when I need more in-depth advice. Whilst no easy access accounts offer great returns, I find Flexdirect a good product that fulfills my day-to-day banking requirements. It is easy to use and all the basics can be done at the ATM machine. A great help in very small bank that happens to very busy! Reviewed on: 21st November 2017
