Review of the Nationwide, FlexDirect:

Five star interest rate

Super savings account with 5 % interest but only on a maximum deposit of £2500 with total yearly interest of £125 earned. Only slight downside is that the headline interest rate of 5% lasts for one year only. So on opening anniversary you have to close the account and re-open a new one to continue getting 5% and importantly this needs to be either single/joint to joint/single in order to meet qualifying terms Reviewed on: 24th December 2016

A fairer way to bank!

Nationwide are a great business to bank with. Their status as a building society and the way they share their profits with their customers feels great to be a part of and will certainly keep me as a customer. Additionally, great credit card and savings offerings also support their great appeal. Reviewed on: 24th March 2025

Good to have cash back and good interest rate for 12 months. Was easy to switch from flex plus to direct account with it being free to use. New card came quickly and could use it straight away with all direct debits changing over automatically. Reviewed on: 18th March 2025

Excellent bank

I use Nationwide as my main current account bank and find their range of savings accounts very competitive. I also like the fact that it is owned by its customers and also their committment to not closing branches, particularly in non-city areas Reviewed on: 7th March 2025

Easy transfer.

Easy transfer and use of account plus good rates of interest. Reviewed on: 7th March 2025

Every so often, nationwide rewards its flex direct customers for having an account with them which meet certain criteria. Reviewed on: 7th March 2025
