Review of the Nationwide, FlexDirect:

Ethical banking for the people

5
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

The bank account that won't let you send money

1
Never wanted to go back to this bank but wanted the £200 switch. Have to use a card reader every single time I try to pay anyone (even if I've paid them before) which is completely impractical. Rang nationwide, they won't help, and still haven't even sent me a card reader yet and it's been weeks. They won't even transfer the amounts I want over the phone when I call up. So I literally can't even send anyone money. Which is the main thing you need a bank account for... person I just off the phone to had no solution for me. I can't wait to change banks back again, only just changed and already having terrible experiences. Now stuck unable to pay rent and one very angry landlord. Cheers nationwide!
