Review of the Nationwide, FlexDirect:

flex direct

I switched to the flex direct account with nationwide when i needed my own bank account after I split up with my wife last year. I've been using it everyday ever since. Its easy to use. i got a debit card which can be used as a debit card or used on contactless devices. its been very handy. i was also given the option to have a chequebook but i declined as money is tight. some other banks i've been with give you a chequebook whether you want it or not. I use the online banking service to manage my day to day transactions and transfers which i previously had no experience with as my wife did it all. But I've found it quite simple to use. All in all its a good account with decent services attached to it. I'm sure I will be using it for many years to come. Reviewed on: 10th February 2018

Easy to manage account online

Easy to manage account online although currently unable to pay in cheques using the app. Handy to have local branch as most banks have now closed their branches Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

If Carlsberg did banking...

So simple to move accounts. They kept me fully informed at all times. It integrates fully with my financial management system (Moneyhub). They have branches with real people who know what they are doing, and don't ask you to wait 5 weeks for an appointment. The statements are easy to find and use. I couldn't find a single fault, and they rewarded me for the move. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

Still a mutual

Good customer service. Nationwide is still customer owned. One had £100 twice due to this. Best of all it retains high street branches which is important to many. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

Good interest rate and cashback for first year up to £1500. App easy to use and transactions fast. Also plenty of branches still open which is a plus. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2025

Trusted bank with an ethical mindset

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
