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

Easy to use website and app

Very easy to use the app and website to keep track of my spending and transfer money. Reviewed on: 12th September 2017

Brilliant

It was easy to set up an account with Nationwide, the customer service department were very friendly, clear and precise in their delivery of information. Reviewed on: 9th August 2017

Good extras

Account is good value for money with loads of extras Reviewed on: 30th June 2017

5% pa interest

Make roughly £100 per annun on keeping balance of £2000 on flexdirect account in period of two years with Nationwide. Straighforward online register, proof of identity in your nearest branch and you are good to go. Reviewed on: 30th April 2017

Fantastic building society

Great company, always so helpful on the phone when needed despite FlexDirect being an online account, internet banking so easy to use. Reviewed on: 27th April 2017

Flexdirect

Good incentive to join but would like rate to last longer or a better rate constantly. Reviewed on: 2nd March 2017

Friendly and helpful staff

I think the Flex direct scores on its 5% interest for the first year. It is also possible to open a linked regular saver and add £500 a month for a year for a further 5% interest. Reviewed on: 1st March 2017

Online banking easy to use. Great interest rates. Can transfer money between accounts. Reviewed on: 12th February 2017

great people, picky processes

On the whole, my experience with Nationwide has been excellent. I use the local branch, and have used teleconferencing within the branch to complete applications managed by head office. However there are still a few processes that rely on printed forms collected at branch and sent to head office, and on several occasions I have had forms returned as I had been given the wrong one for the action I had wanted to complete. Branch staff are very friendly and I get the sense that they enjoy working for the company. I also think of Nationwide as a bank that will engage with customers as people, rather than purely focusing on profit. This is as a result of comparing products with other providers.
