Swap to Nationwide

I swapped from Natwest and am so glad I did. I love the fairer share pay deal Reviewed on: 10th June 2026

Doesn't dictate too much to customers

Supports customers without a smart phone providing a key pad. Clear clean online banking experiences. Doesn't dictate too much to customers compared to other banks and tries to listen. Reviewed on: 20th April 2026

An Ethical Alternative in Mainstream Banking

Nationwide is a great environmentally sound and ethical alternative to the planet-wrecking, consciousness-lacking traditional banks. While they are not as green as, for example, Triodos or Ecology Building Society, they offer a broader range of services and are mainstream—a household name. They also provide a substantial number of local branches, making them easily accessible. Their employees, both online and in branches, are friendly and knowledgeable, always keen to help with any queries or concerns. I have been banking with them for eight years and have been very happy, although more recently I have reduced the number of products I hold with them in favour of even more environmentally and ethically focused providers: Triodos and Ecology Building Society, both of whom I can also highly recommend.

Best value for money current account

The best current account for interest rates and cashback, with no fees! It’s limited to £1500, but that’s enough for day to day spending and the rest is in our savings account - it means we don’t lose interest on the money not in savings. We also got a switch bonus and nationwide do a regular fairer share payment to their customers. Reviewed on: 18th April 2026

Why "Fix" something that isn't broke

The account itself is straightforward enough, but the app isn't great. i also haven't been able to figure out how to "save my change" automatically, it is currently semi-manual. But as a basic account it's ok. Reviewed on: 16th April 2026

Happy customer

I am a happy customer. The app is user-friendly so online transactions is easy and secured. Reviewed on: 16th April 2026
