Review of the Nationwide, FlexDirect:

Ethical banking for the people

I like this building society's ethics. Customers service is always very friendly and helpful. I really appreciated the 5% cashback on spending in February, March and April. The heavy use of card ready is a bit annoying but they've been taking steps to reduce the amount of time the card reader is needed Reviewed on: 10th April 2023

flex direct

I switched to the flex direct account with nationwide when i needed my own bank account after I split up with my wife last year. I've been using it everyday ever since. Its easy to use. i got a debit card which can be used as a debit card or used on contactless devices. its been very handy. i was also given the option to have a chequebook but i declined as money is tight. some other banks i've been with give you a chequebook whether you want it or not. I use the online banking service to manage my day to day transactions and transfers which i previously had no experience with as my wife did it all. But I've found it quite simple to use. All in all its a good account with decent services attached to it. I'm sure I will be using it for many years to come. Reviewed on: 10th February 2018

Straight-forward current account

Enjoyed bonus interest for a year when I took out this account. Can do all the banking I need, including in-branch. The advisors are always friendly. Better interest would be good. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2018
