A solid caretaker of our finances

4
I've been with Nationwide for more than 30 years. I have limited experience with Other Building Societies and Banks, but Nationwide have always been up front and transparent about charges & changes, and their services are straightforward to navigate. We also have our home insurance with them, which is very reasonable, and so simple to set up. No hassles with Nationwide. Reviewed on: 21st November 2019

Good service but interest rate drops after a year

4
Good interest rate for the first year, but drops after a year which is annoying. Also access to good regular saver acount. Customer service is excellent Reviewed on: 21st November 2019

A product that works, backed by a company that cares about its customers

4
The Nationwide Flex account provides most of what one expects from a bank account, with on-line banking that actually works. When there are glitches, staff respond promptly to emails and secure messages and resolve problems in a helpful and generous manner. This is a good product, backed by a powerful and well-run organisation. Reviewed on: 11th November 2019

Reliable and problem free

I have had my Flexaccount with Nationwide for nearly 15 years and have never experienced any problems. Most of my interactions with them are via the local branch, where I have always found the the staff friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Reviewed on: 5th November 2019

Just superb

5
Highly trustworthy and the fact that it has no shareholders (other than its members) is a huge plus. The account is superb and meets all my needs. Helpful and professional staff too. Reviewed on: 5th November 2019

Disgraceful and utterly useless.

1
Having banked with the Nationwide for 20 odd years, I'd rather give my money to a stranger to look after. Whatever problem you have, usually thier fault, they simply will not help. Either thier internal training mandates they refuse to help, or sociopaths work there for the sheer joy of draining all hope out of thier customers. Avoid these grubby, deceitful crooks at all cost. Reviewed on: 3rd September 2019

Great people in branch

Whenever I go in they remember me by name and treat me as a friend not just a person Reviewed on: 20th August 2019
