Great ethical banking

If you want accountability and ethical banking Nationwide offer that alongside a robust app, online banking and branches (in case you need face-to-face services or support). This bank works for you and puts your money to good use too. Reviewed on: 25th January 2022

Disconnected service

Staff in branch refuse to deal with credit cards Reviewed on: 20th January 2022

Mixed feelings

I like the staff, however you can't pay cheques in via the app like you can with other banks and the app always has problems. My nearest branch is quite a way so that causes me problems. Long hold times when calling, but the staff seem nice. Reviewed on: 12th January 2022

easy

perfectly adequate, online banking capability not as good as rivals Reviewed on: 12th January 2022

Failure to stick to promises.

Failure to stick to promises I switched a bank account to Nationwide on the offer of £125 switching payment. Two and a half months on still not received it, despite the complaints team stating on 1/11 that I should receive it. Catalogue of broken promises to act, overly detailed explanations about why their computer system did not automatically trigger (that's their problem not mine). Promised a call back by close of business today - not received. Pure incompetence. Also took out mortgage with them in 2014. Catalogue of errors which led to me screaming down the phone at them on 10.30am on the morning of completion to release the money. Quite simply an appalling building society.

Fab building society

Been banking with Nationwide for about 10 years and have always been really happy at the customer service and the app is super simple to use. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

They look after their customers!

I feel valued and looked after at this bank. Both online and in-store experiences have been so good especially during covid lockdowns. Reviewed on: 13th April 2021
