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

Very good service. Insurance company excellent to work with.

Very good Internet banking excellent products.. very happy customer Reviewed on: 12th February 2017

5% interest on balances up to £2,500.

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.

Easy switch of current account

Easy and swift set up of new online current account with the switch of my old account processed within 7 days. Reviewed on: 9th February 2017

Fantastic savings interest rate.

Fantastic savings rate, easy to access and the app is very accessible. Tools like impulse save are great for saving spare cash. Reviewed on: 6th February 2017

Very happy

I have been with the Nationwide for a few years now now and they always offer new accounts, ideas etc which is great. Great 5% rate on a current account for 12 months is a good offer that I accepted gratefully. Reviewed on: 5th February 2017

Online Banking

Straightforward internet banking. Happy with customer service Reviewed on: 5th February 2017

Long term customer, no major issues

I have held a Nationwide Current Account for nearly 13 years and would not consider going back to the major banks. Customer service is usually good and there has always been a willingness to resolve any problems promptly. I only wish I could get more people to switch so I could claim the £100 ;-) Reviewed on: 1st February 2017
