Best bank account

5
I have had a flex account with Nationwide for nearly 25 years. The extras you get with the account are fantastic - travel insurance, mobile phone and breakdown cover. I would recommend Nationwide to everyone for their first class customer service and products on offer. Reviewed on: 1st August 2017

Awful awful awful

1
Was with nationwide for over 30 years and they treated me like dirt. Stay away. Reviewed on: 1st August 2017

They just don't listen to customer feedback!

1
Having banked with Nationwide for over three decades, I was disappointed that staff don't take notice of customer feedback. It's not acceptable to display politically-motivated posters inside branches. The result? I took my £150K to Santander. Reviewed on: 21st July 2017

No security to your account. Very poor services

1
Terrible bank. They can not provide security of your money and the money keep constantly disappearing from your account. It happened multiple times with me, and after that they also charge you money when your account is in overdraft (because the money been stolen). So my account been in minus until I closed it. The customer service is terrible. Departments do not communicate at all. I do not recommend this bank to nobody. It was a mistake of choosing this bank. Branches are very far. I think it is few in South East London area. Reviewed on: 21st July 2017

Flex magic

5
Been a customer for years simple to use and great rewards Reviewed on: 1st July 2017

Arbitrary withdrawal of overdraft

1
Despite an agreed overdraft repayment schedule, when funds from another source were introduced into the account for a separate purpose, Nationwide took what was owed on the overdraft leaving me £2000 short to repay an endowment. Reviewed on: 29th June 2017

Excellent customer service

5
Always happy to help and nice on the phone Reviewed on: 22nd June 2017

Great service, terms and flexibility

5
I've found Nationwide has the best overall service from all the banks and building societys. Their financial products save me money and give me the feeling of stability. Reviewed on: 11th June 2017
