Flex Regular Saver

5
I earn 5.00% gross interest by saving each month into a Flax regular saver. The maximum monthly amount you can save is £500 but you can put in less, and you don't have to do it every month either; just transfer from your flex account as and when. It does only last a year but at the end of that year you can simply open a new account and start over again. The money saved from the previous year is put into something called a Flexclusive account with an interest rate of 0.5% - or you could put the money you have saved towards an ISA with a higher interest rate. Interest on a Flex Regular Saver is calculated daily so best to make any transfers as soon into the month as possible. I am really pleased with my Flax Regular Saver; by the end of 2016 I had saved £6000 and earned interest of over £150 Reviewed on: 3rd March 2017

Simple clear account

I would reccomend Nationwide, they are very good at contacting you and keeping you informed. Reviewed on: 12th February 2017

Flex, a great account!

5
I have been with Nationwide since I was a student, I chose it because of its no fee usage abroad. Now, that admittedly perk has changed but it does have other good points like a free European Travel Insurance policy. The use of its overdraft is a on percentage payment basis not a monthly usage fee like some banks do. I find that in branch the staff are always helpful and yet not too pushy ( a reason I left another bank). In summary a great account! Reviewed on: 12th February 2017
