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 have been impressed with the high level of service received from this bank. They are attentive and supportive to customer requirements and have a great cyber information team with some great initiatives to prevent fraud such as, MFA. Reviewed on: 27th November 2019

Excellent interest rates

Crazy % on overdraft

3
So upsetting they have added 39.9% so basically a balance of £2,300 will cost £75 in fees! Promptly we are clearing it and leaving. They also wouldn't offer any loan seems they not risking capital and to be honest we think HSBC better as their investments in Asia and only bank that didn't request a bale out from the government.

Fraud

1
Had a fraudulent transaction on my current account. Spoke to them and I can honestly say it is the worst customer service. Refused to investigate fraud and refund money. Your money is not safe with them. I have never encountered this before with any other bank or financial institution Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019

Highest interest rate I could find for £2500 - a really good place to put the money I'd accrued from a regular savings account at Nationwide Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

Banking at a distance with branch support.

Great service with good web-based and app banking. Apple Pay, paym support and U.K. - based call centres. The mutual structure also means there are no fat cats taking huge profits. Reviewed on: 5th November 2019
