Review of the Nationwide, FlexDirect:

Solid but uninspired bank choice

Nationwide, while a stalwart in the UK banking sector, leaves much to be desired in terms of innovation. Their online and mobile banking platforms, while functional, lack the modern flair and advanced features that other competitors offer. In addition, their customer service, while satisfactory, can at times be slow to respond. Although Nationwide's range of financial products is extensive, their offerings may not always be as competitive as those from other banks. Consider Nationwide as a solid, if somewhat uninspired, banking choice. Reviewed on: 15th February 2024

Good service, good savings options

I appreciate the 5% savings account linked to my current account and the app is great. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

Great Benefits

I switched to Nationwide from TSB since having the account for years I had never switched before but I must say the service was excellent. I had no problems moving over and te benefits of the account far outweigh anything my previous bank could offer. The app and online banking is brilliant and very easy to use.

Great savings account and great service

The savings products offered by Nationwide are fantastic, allowing me to benefit to the maximum from my savings Reviewed on: 11th February 2018

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
