Saving me money instead of charging me

I got a text warning me that the next day some direct debits would be paid, & this would cause me to be overdrawn & incur costs. I was able to pay money into my account & avoid those costs. Who else does that? Reviewed on: 22nd January 2026

Greatbanking and secure service, Go Nationwide

5
I have banked with Nat. West, Lloyds and Principality through the years. I was never really happy with the banking system. These banks are much of a muchness. When I joined Nationwide( I appreciate they are more a building society than a standard bank. They are brilliant across the board, services, staffing, and product. They have given me three sums of money because I am a member and bank with them. It was free, I didn’t have to do anything. I never had free money before lol! Security aspects are brilliant stopping me from being scammed. They engender trust in their operation. I love them. As long as this carries on I will remain with them. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2026
