Review of the Nationwide, FlexDirect:

great service

5
I switched over to Nationwide from TSB and the difference in the amount of good products they provide is so much better. The app is brilliant and really easy to use, I would highly recommend them for your current account. Reviewed on: 5th June 2019

Best on the high street

I have been a customer of Nationwide BS for over 20 years. They have always provided great customer service, good value policies [mortgage or loans] and reliable banking. Reviewed on: 18th August 2022

Best bank

5
I have been with Nationwide for about twenty years and have never wished to change to anyone else. I feel they serve my best interests - financially and as an advisory service. Reviewed on: 8th July 2022

Worst bank I have every come across.

Weeks ago a member of their staff cancelled our debit cards by mistake. THEIR MISTAKE. Eventually, they sent the replacements but they didn't turn up, so they have now ordered some more replacement cards. This has been going on for weeks and all the time we have no access to a cashpoint, we can't buy anything from a shop or anything online. Do they care? They say they are sorry but do nothing. AVOID. Their customer service is a joke. Reviewed on: 21st April 2022

Bad customer service

1
I went on the chat, and they couldn’t help me they said I had to phone in, after waiting 20 mins I got though and explained my issue they said they couldn’t help so I had to wait another 30 mins for the next department who then said they couldn’t help and I have to be transferred to the team I was speaking to at the start, I told him not to transfer me so he checked with his boss and said they couldn’t help with my arranged overdraft interest as my reasoning wasn’t excepted. A very long wait for no help and no advice Reviewed on: 4th April 2022

Ticks all boxes
