About this product

The Nationwide FlexDirect current account pays interest on your money and you can earn cashback on debit card purchases for the first 12 months.

If you’re eligible for an overdraft, the first £50 is interest free. The FlexDirect account has to be managed online or over the phone, not at the branch.

Review of the Nationwide, FlexDirect:

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

Good to have cash back and good interest rate for 12 months. Was easy to switch from flex plus to direct account with it being free to use. New card came quickly and could use it straight away with all direct debits changing over automatically. Reviewed on: 18th March 2025

The best bank ever, very easy to contact and always quick to resolve issues. Also give their customers payments through fairer share which is amazing! Reviewed on: 18th March 2025

Banking but fairer

They are giving profits to customers. Can’t beat that. Reviewed on: 18th March 2025

Excellent bank

I use Nationwide as my main current account bank and find their range of savings accounts very competitive. I also like the fact that it is owned by its customers and also their committment to not closing branches, particularly in non-city areas Reviewed on: 7th March 2025

Easy transfer.

Easy transfer and use of account plus good rates of interest. Reviewed on: 7th March 2025

Excellent Rewards Scheme

Every so often, nationwide rewards its flex direct customers for having an account with them which meet certain criteria. Reviewed on: 7th March 2025

We love Nationwide

This bank have been fantastic with us, we have even opened savings accounts for our children as the rates are incredible. The staff in branches are always lovely too. Their banking app is safe, easy to use and the access to multiple accounts is simple and quick. Reviewed on: 6th March 2025

Good interest rates for things like regular savers, and the fair share payment is a nice treat that makes it feel different than your average bank. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

not too bad

The current account is ok - interest rate is now bad . I cannot be bothered to change banks Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

Good but room for improvement.

Good customer service both online and in lots of branches. Savings rates could do better. Also problems with an ISA transfer recently but finally sorted out. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025
