Review of the Nationwide, FlexDirect:

Good if you don't need a branch

I opened a FlexDirect account as it got interest without charges. Manage it through the app or online as intended. Never been into a branch or called to discuss it. Interest rates wiped out with the pandemic and sadly still there even though things are more 'back to normal' Reviewed on: 2nd February 2023

Lifetime Member

I have been a customer of NatWest for the whole of my life and have never been disappoInted. Introduced to the bank by my parents in toddlerhood, over the years I have altered my accounts etc, but find them to always be thorough in their ways, and the flex direct account is perfect for me, Reviewed on: 11th April 2023

Simple card

Good, easy to use simple debit card Reviewed on: 11th April 2023

Ethical banking for the people

I like this building society's ethics. Customers service is always very friendly and helpful. I really appreciated the 5% cashback on spending in February, March and April. The heavy use of card ready is a bit annoying but they've been taking steps to reduce the amount of time the card reader is needed Reviewed on: 10th April 2023

Decent, responsible banking

I have been a Nationwide customer for many years. It's a solid, responsible, easy to deal with building society and I much prefer having a current account with them than the other major banks. The staff are well trained and helpful. The App/tech is well designed and easy to use. Also, they're not investing in horrible things - no arms deals or fossil fuels. So it's a winner all round. Reviewed on: 6th April 2023

They keep me informed whenever the rates of interest change invite me to change my account and do not offer higher rates to new.customers Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023
