Switching to Nationwide was the best decision ever I switched to Nationwide a few years ago after poor service from a bank I had been with for over 40 years. It was the best decision I have ever made. Reviewed on: 21st July 2025

Nationwide FlexAccount reviews (930)

Always so helpful and friendly

5
I have always been pleased with the service I receive from nationwide, particularly today when I phoned them to ask if I could change the payment date on some charges I have on my account. I wasn't waiting on the phone for long, wasn't put on hold for long when I did get put through and they changed the date with no problems at all. Changing from HSBC to Nationwide was a very good decision for me and I recommend others give them a try too. Obviously there will be some people (justifiably) unhappy with the service they receive from Nationwide but this is to be expected. Reviewed on: 16th August 2016

Incompetent and costly

1
I will be leaving the nationwide as soon as is practically possible. There is zero service from this company any more. They simply want to sell you something even during the course of a complaint. Its obvious their staff are being driven to do nothing but sell. A mortgage application takes two hours on the phone simply because they are trying to get information with which to sell you other products. Reviewed on: 2nd August 2016

Very close to leaving

Overdraft charges are ridiculous and I feel like I've been grossly overcharged and misinformed at point of sale. I have been fortunate enough to receive a refund recently but still do not think this is enough. Would like to close my accounts with them as soon as possible Reviewed on: 3rd July 2016

Friendy helpful staff always smiling

I have to comment on the brilliant staff in my local branch of Nationwide, They are always smiling and helpful. They always brighten my day and I believe are some of the most friendly people on the high street. Well done Nationwide on treating your staff well as their positive attitude towards their job is always on display. Reviewed on: 29th June 2016

Brilliant help when needed

I have a little card reader that I keep in my bag so I can securely log onto my account when I need to. Once logged on there is a direct message facility. I go abroad often and all I need to do is send them a quick message to let them know what country I'll be using my card in. I've also told them about changes in this way. They answer fully and quickly and it so convenient not having to wait for ages on a phone. Reviewed on: 29th June 2016

Always been happy

Flexible and affordable banking

Easily swapped to Nationwide Flexaccount. Everything was swapped over, and all DD moved across. The account is great with breakdown insurance, travel insurance and mobile insurance all combined for a very low cost Reviewed on: 22nd June 2016

Extremely easy to use and maintain

I have had a flexaccount with nationwide for 2 years now and I have never ever had any issues or complications with my account. My app allows me to easily keep an eye on my account and daily transactions. Reviewed on: 22nd June 2016

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE

5
They have been the best bank I have ever dealt with by far. I have had several weird things occur to my bank accounts and they have been so professional and helpful at all times, no matter who I have spoken with. I simply cannot fault them and totally hand on heart recommend them to anyone. SWITCH ACCOUNTS TODAY!!!! JUST DO IT!!!!!! Reviewed on: 22nd June 2016
