Review of the Nationwide, FlexAccount:

So far an absolute joke of an establishment.

So far an absolute joke of an establishment. I'm honestly stunned this is the same bank that is supposed to be regarded so highly for customer service. I recently switched and of the 3 employees I've dealt with so far all 3 have managed to show total incompetence or disregard for any sort of detail. As such I'm currently making a complaint, to which I got an email this morning which I've pasted below. I'm writing regarding your complaint about incorrect information provided regards your eligibility for the switch incentive. Looking at all the evidence that is available I am unable to uphold your complaint. As the outcome you were looking for was a payment of £250 for the switch incentive that you are not eligible for, I am unable to make such a compensatory payment. Please let me know if you accept this outcome. This is incorrect in many parts, the most basic mistake is the amount. The incentive was £175, not £250. Next, I have not asked for or discussed a compensatory payment. I have not asked why I didn't receive it. I have simply asked why I was lead to believe on the on line chat last week before the switch completed I was eligible for the incentive. I actually asked 3 times as the idiot replying wouldnt give a straight answer. Then 2/3 days after the switch was complete I received notification that I wasn't. The next employee on the online chat was continuously trying to get rid of me, apparently when using the banking app the chat isn't in the app. Even though I signed into the banking app and followed the links in the banking app, I was told I would have to sign out of the banking app and then back into the banking app and start a new chat with a new colleague who could take me through security. Funny because I didn't sign out and start a new chat, the same girl then took me through security anyway!! This all lead to the complaint being logged and my loss of will to go on. Alas, the email today. She can't "uphold my complaint", what does that even mean? That she doesn't agree with it? She hasn't mentioned what evidence she has looked at. Hasn't aplogised, has referred to a compensatory amount I've never mentioned or has previously been brought up, hasn't answered my initial query either. And at the end asked for me to give them an answer but left just a branch phone number to contact them on?!! Is this actually amature hour? Clearly I have lost all confidence in Nationwide, I shall be leaving as soon as possible after filing complaints with the financial ombudsman and the fca. I don't see how they couldn't have stated before completion, when I asked directly 3 times, that I wouldn't be eligible for the incentive. Now they have switched, closed my old account, and made a notch on my credit score. I highly recommend to anyone that they avoid Nationwide, they're a complete fraud. Reviewed on: 27th February 2025

Honest, reliable, customer-focused service

I am now a longstanding customer (17 years) and have never had any reason to doubt the quality of Nationwide's service, both online and in branch. They offer above average interest rates on products for existing customers (ie rewarding loyalty not playing games to attract newcomers), and the recent Fairer Share payments are just the icing on the cake.

While Nationwide's Fairer Share bonuses are appreciated, their interest rates on currents accounts are comparatively and sometimes extremely poor, and their customer service is woeful. Reviewed on: 12th June 2025

A happy Nationwide customer

I have held a Nationwide Flexaccount for over 40 years. I also have current accounts with other banks. Very impressed with the way Nationwide treats their customer loyalty. This year there has been the £50 'Big Nationwide Thank You', and soon there will be the £100 'Fairer Share' payment. I don't know of any other banks/building societies that reward their customers in this way. The Nationwide app is very user friendly. Only thing that could be improved would be transaction notifications on mobile phone screen. All things considered, I'm happy to give Nationwide my vote, and have already recommended them to friends & family. Reviewed on: 12th June 2025

Everything I want from a current account

I love the fact that my branch has a 24/7 foyer\vestibule with a paying in machine. My only gripe is that the menus of said machine are far slower that the type they use at Halifax. Fairer share scheme is also great value, just keep a min £100 in savings. Reviewed on: 12th June 2025
