Nationwide FlexDirect

5
Opened account over five years ago and never had a problem. Online banking is very secure with a four stage process with a card reader, not just an otp to your phone, and website is simple to use and well laid out. Statements are clear and payments are easy to make. Reviewed on: 25th January 2026

Great rates, app, communication and rewards

I’ve been a customer of Nationwide banking and mortgages for many years. Their app is brilliant. It makes banking and budgeting easy to manage. Their communications are proactive and helpful. And they reward members annually with small cash payments. Just a brilliant organisation and service! Reviewed on: 24th January 2026

Top name worth considering

I used the switch service to move to Nationwide and I was kept up to date at every stage. The process was seamless, I got to choose my switch over date and all my direct debits followed and were paid with no gaps. Very easy to set everything up and the app is great. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2026
