Review of the Nationwide, FlexAccount:

Excellent compassionate and reasonable

5
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

App is seriously lacking

3
I took advantage of the £175 switch offer that Nationwide were offering. At first, everything was good however, I soon realised Nationwide’s app and technology is seriously lacking. The app is very limited in what it can do and the lack of Push Notifications through the app to warn of upcoming Direct Debit payments is infuriating. Furthermore, Nationwide’s text alerts are too basic and not detailed enough. Not being able to use the Post Office to deposit cash or cheques is also annoying. Whilst I appreciate they are keeping their branches open, we don’t live that close to one so having access to bank at the Post Office would make life easier (or allow for cheques to be deposited through the app - that would be even better!).

Everything is excellent.

Everything is excellent. Responds immediately and resolves whatever I need. When I call, they are very nice and explain step by step what I have to do! Reviewed on: 14th January 2025

I am a Nationwide Flex Account for 40 years or more.

I have been with the Nationwide Flex Account for 40+ years and online operation for many many years without problem. It is easy to use, displays all accounts and protects from scams. It is free to use and I would be reluctant to move away. Reviewed on: 23rd November 2024

Overly complicated application process, it felt like.

Overly complicated application process, it felt like. Looked to join given the good reports on rates, new branding and adverts, but despite a new brand the process and provisions still felt archaic. So much paperwork, slow to send card, unnecessary pay-in rules. Just a waste of time and the credit search in my opinion. Reviewed on: 18th September 2024
