Review of the Nationwide, FlexAccount:

absolutely dreadful

1
awful, they noticed fraud on my card, so blocked it and sent me a new one, ok great, but for some reason, they also blocked my new card aswell, I could not use it anywhere, it was rejected everytime I used it, 3 days of non stop phone calls, nobody knew what was going or how to fix it Reviewed on: 4th April 2023

Kids use it too

Always had a positive experience, have also set my children up with the flexOne account as soon as they are old enough. Reviewed on: 24th January 2026

Been with Nationwide for decades but...

Have been banking with Nationwide for decades without problems and up until recently I would have rated the customer service as excellent. However a recent issue with a transaction forced created a need to contact the bank and the experience was not good. The website is set up only to answer FAQs and call wait times to speak to an operator are 45 mins + at ANY time day or night. Operators give incorrect information and don't seem to be able to see or access relevant information and just provide a tel number to (Incorrect in one case!) another part of the organisation. I'm left feeling that I might as well just move to an internet only challenger bank like "Starling" and get same banking with no service and better interest rates. NW pretends to be a friendly B-S but has become as arrogant as any other bank. Not being able to use the Post office for paying in cash/checks (which other banks support ) is also a real drawback when one lives in a rural area. Reviewed on: 24th January 2026

Extremely competitive savings and mortgage rates.

5
Extremely competitive savings and mortgage rates. Amazing value for money on their current accounts. Customer service is second to none. They don't close high street banks, and they give back to their customers. I have never had to raise a dispute or complaint and I have been with Nationwide for years. Excellent bank! Reviewed on: 23rd January 2026

A community feeling.

5
Over 20 years with Nationwide, starting with a savings account, now with them as main bank. There is, however fictional, a community feeling to a building society. Maybe it feels less ruthless in a ruthless world. There are valid queries about the amount the CEO is paid, why are bankers so overpaid compared to the rest of the population? A self deluding system perhaps, but given that a bank is a necessity, Nationwide gives good bank. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2026
