Review of the Nationwide, FlexAccount:

Excellent compassionate and reasonable

I was having trouble getting into debt and they helped me to reduce my overdraft at a reasonable rate so that I wouldn't suffer too harshly from the reductions. They were very compassionate towards my situation and made me feel confident and at ease. Reviewed on: 18th December 2018

Value for Money Bank Account

I love my Flexaccount. For a small monthly fee, I have access to phone insurance (which I have used 3 times), worldwide family travel cover, breakdown cover and preferential rates on my overdraft, loan and credit card. Reviewed on: 6th July 2020

Current, up to date banking

I was defrauded and had zero support from NBS

I reported fraudulent activity in Jan 2020 where NBS were unable to retract funds from the third party. Upon negotiating with the third party to recoup funds I notified NBS of the defrauded funds crediting my account in the third week of March a week prior to the transaction so they are aware of the situation. A week later my account was frozen and the funds were taken out by NBS without any warning or consultation. I was alarmed as I kept NBS in the loop as to circumstances of the fraud and negotiations to have the funds returned. 2 months later they then decided to freeze my wife's and parents Nationwide accounts, again without warning or a phone call and have spent endless hours trying to get to the bottom of their negligence and unprofessional staff in their Fraud Support team. My nightmare lives on as I trying to get answers only to be asked to email the Account Review Team who have not responded in over 3 weeks. To request information they have asked me to complete a SAR which they’re meant to legally respond within 28 days and have failed to do so and then asked to bank elsewhere whilst they hold my funds. Please stay well clear from Nationwide and do not waste your time and effort with a reckless bank who have zero consideration for the well being of their customers in such horrific times. Shame on NBS!! Reviewed on: 8th June 2020

Truly Great Customer Service

Really like the light and spacious branches, all products are made clear by the excellent documentation that is provided and the staff have super knowledge too. Reviewed on: 8th June 2020

No support against fraudsters

Very disappointed after several decades loyal membership of Nationwide that they’ve refused to help me after fraudsters hacked email of legitimate company who installed my garage door to misdirect payment of £1200 when I was in the throes of a very nasty 4 week Covid Reviewed on: 31st May 2020
