Good interest rates for things like regular savers, and the fair share payment is a nice treat that makes it feel different than your average bank. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

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
