Review of the Nationwide, FlexDirect:

Good if you don't need a branch

4
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

poor branch opening times

opening times in branch especially on weekends is awful. App is okay but they still need card readers for new payees which seems quite old fashioned now especially with biometrics availability. Would not reccommend Reviewed on: 8th February 2023

Easy and simple to use
