Review of the Nationwide, FlexDirect:

great service

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

I feel valued and looked after at this bank. Both online and in-store experiences have been so good especially during covid lockdowns. Reviewed on: 13th April 2021

Best account experience I've ever had

I couldn't say best bank because they are a building society so even better! I've tried most banks and I have stayed with Nationwide the longest of any. The app is easy to use, lots of branches and great customer service. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Abhorent horrible building society

1
Every process is inconvenient Every process is capped or limited Customer service line is inaccessible Customer service isn't joined up Ask for card and pin, only receive card, no pin, have to call back Online banking is clunky Low transfer limits.... They absolutely screwed us on our first mortgage Absolutely miserable experience all round. AVOID. Bank with First Direct Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Once the leader, now nothing but annoying adds

Long time customer which once had numerous accounts. Nationwide is now dead in the water and only interested in rewarding new customers and not keeping old....good luck to them, I feel they'll need it especially with the cost of those terribly annoying constant adds! Reviewed on: 11th March 2021
