Competitive rates

Good interest rates and customer service. Reviewed on: 6th December 2017

Great deals shame anout the app

4
I get excellent interest and rates at nationwide. The app however is a little tricky and you can only pay a new person by using a computer rather than just the app. Reviewed on: 26th November 2017

A good place to bank

4
I have banked with Nationwide for many years. I have found them to be straightforward, helpful and honest. They always try to help, and have specialist staff who are easy to contact when I need more in-depth advice. Whilst no easy access accounts offer great returns, I find Flexdirect a good product that fulfills my day-to-day banking requirements. It is easy to use and all the basics can be done at the ATM machine. A great help in very small bank that happens to very busy! Reviewed on: 21st November 2017

A mutual

5
As well as being ethically sound, The Nationwide BS has good accounts suitable for all. Our small local branch has been very helpful to us over the years. Reviewed on: 19th November 2017

Good Benefits

4
Moved from another high street bank to Nationwide Flexdirect account. It has great benefits with a % interest on anything in the account, which i note not many current accounts do. Similarly I have the linked saver with 5%. The woman in branch i set up the account with was very helpful and ran me through everything and could answer all questions. She was great, no wavering she knew her stuff. Reviewed on: 15th November 2017

Banking with benefits

4
I have always had a nationwide account but in the past few years have changed to Flex direct because of the travel insurance. The customer support is excellent, I recently had trouble claiming back from a flight delay and they helped me, covering my claim and offering me a great deal on long term travel plans.

Great interest rates, no strings, and easy to set up

5
I had a great experience opening my FlexDirect account - I applied through the app, it took less than 5 minutes, and it was up and running! I love that I didn't have to go in to an office to set it up. I also love that there are no strings attached - i.e. that I don't have to set up a certain number of direct debits to get the great (5%!) interest rate so long as I pay in at least £1000 per month. Most bank accounts have far more hoops to jump through and Nationwide is the best I've come across on this side. The online portal has a bit of a dated look and feel through a web browser, but the app is completely modern and what you'd expect from a bank in 2017. All around I am very impressed. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Best interest rate on £2500

5
This is a fantastic interest rate for a year on up to £2500! 5% = £125 You can also open a linked savings account for another 5% interest!! Everything to love about this bank! Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

A real Money Boost

They make your savings queries so much easier. I opened this account from the advice of the Assistant. She made it clear exactly what benefits I would be getting along with the best way to save regularly. She helped me every step of the way with my application. I am now getting a great higher rate of interest and am at last seeing my money start to grow. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017
