Review of the Nationwide, FlexDirect:

Trusted bank with an ethical mindset

5
Nationwide is a trusted bank. I switched away from Nationwide a few years ago to take advantage of a switching bonus but I regretted doing it as Nationwide had better customer service. I also preferred Nationwide's status as a building society and passing on profits to members rather than stakeholders. Reviewed on: 17th January 2025

Easy to sign up, simple to use, reliable service.

5
Easy to sign up, simple to use, reliable service, and one of the few financial organisations that still have branches. The perks for opening a new account are very good (onboarding bonus and cashback on spending). The only additional thing that I would like to see from Nationwide is instant transaction notifications in the mobile app, like is available from most other banks offering consumer credit and debit cards. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2025

A seamless switch and great customer service.

5
A seamless switch and great customer service. Very competitive rates and an app that is very user friendly. Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025

Excellent, personal and online banking service

5
I have been using Nationwide for years now, and find the FlexDirect account easy to use, the online banking is very accessible with an easy-to-use interface that has excellent security. There are still branches near to where I live, so I am able to speak directly to someone in person, should I need to. Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025

Best bank ever.

Best bank ever. Great customer service. Always someone to talk to. Local branch and cash rewards, what more could you ask for Reviewed on: 29th March 2025

A fairer way to bank!

5
Nationwide are a great business to bank with. Their status as a building society and the way they share their profits with their customers feels great to be a part of and will certainly keep me as a customer. Additionally, great credit card and savings offerings also support their great appeal. Reviewed on: 24th March 2025

5
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

Nationwide are the best bank

5
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
