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... Read more Reviewed on: 27th February 2025

traumatising experience

1
The trauma was as a result of the freezing of my accounts due to the large bills i had to pay a builder for building a house for my adult. disabled daughter in our garden. it was legitimate, i was managing the build which was stressful enough. without warning they said i could be the victim of a scam. i had selected the builder myself with the architect from three quotations. i was without access to my funds for a month. The uncertainly of when i would be able to access funds added to the trauma. i had no other accounts. my Mastercard was stopped because of a 50p fraud on it so i could not even use that to pay for tiles, carpets, paint and all the various contractors involved. The staff were unempathic, unsupportive, unhelpful and absent from the phone lines for 90 per cent of the time. i spent 3 hours over 8 visits to the branch to try to resolve, they could not access the fraud squad either under 1.5hours. All my agency was taken away by their actions, I felt totally disempowered. I had to borrow thousands from family and friends to support every day expenses. I complained only to be told i was unable to visit the branch nor have my accounts any more adding insult to injury. the pittance in compensation offered does not even cover the trauma informed counselling i am receiving. Furthermore, their apology was unconvincing. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BANK/BUILDING SOCIETY TO ANYONE, NOT VEN MY WORST ENEMY. SUGGEST YOU SWTCH IMMEDIATELY TO ANTHER BANK. THEY HAVE TOO MUCH POWER AND THE LEGISLATION ON MONEY LAUNDERING NEEDS REVISING SO THE SO-CALLED 'VICTIM' IS NOT VICTIMISED AND TRAUMATISED BY THE BANK ACTIONS. Reviewed on: 23rd October 2022

Poor service

1
This company locked me out of my account and failed to answer the phone for 2 days, they cost me £500 and have done nothing to rectify the situation, I'm now being forced to take my complaint higher, so much for being a loyal customer, I'm closing my accounts, shame on this disrespectful organisation, if they had done their job properly I wouldn't be in this situation.

Brilliant Building Society

I use several products with Nationwide and have done for over 40 years. I believe them to be a trustworthy institution who genuinely put their customers at the top of their agenda, unlike most high street banks who put profits first. Reviewed on: 25th July 2022
