Flex Plus charges £18 a month now which seems excessive, though I have used the breakdown cover twice so that makes it a bit less painful to those of us struggling lately ( and I mean prolonged 'lately' Reviewed on: 24th January 2026

Excellent Benefits with great value for money.

5
I have been very reluctant to pay for an account on a regular basis. However, Nationwide FlexDirect Plus offers really good value for money and comprehensive benefits in particular it's travel insurance cover. The fact it covers cruises too is an added bonus and saves hundreds of pounds compared with purchasing that separately. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2026

Above and Beyond Service

We visited our local branch to carry out a CHAPS transfer. Despite others waiting we were never pressured and received an excellent, helpful service. All explained in detail and carried out for us in a professional, informative manner. Would recommend Nationwide for their excellent customer service. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2026

Utilised Internet banking since inception.

Utilised Internet banking since inception. Service and technical support good (although deteriorated since introduction of Chat). Range of deposit and ISA accounts good, allied to competitive interest rates. Like the concept of mutuality. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2026

Great benefits.

5
Great benefits. Travel insurance, mobile phone cover and breakdown cover. All policies are quite comprehensive and cover all my needs. Fairer share bonus of £100 is very welcome. I've been with Nationwide for 27 years now having tried several of their competitors and they have always been helpful and fair. It's good to have branches still open. The only downside is you can't use the post office to manage your account and pay in cash. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2026

Flexplus is an excellent package

Flexplus is an excellent package if you need travel insurance, breakdown cover and mobile phone insurance. Staff in my local branch (Colchester) are always very helpful Reviewed on: 22nd January 2026

Great banking with Nationwide!

I’m pleased with the products supplied on the account, and appreciate the £100 goodwill payment they’ve made the last couple of years. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2026

The FlexPlus account is, in my view, great

The FlexPlus account is, in my view, great value for money, essentially for the insurance perks it offers for a competitive overall price. Being able to go abroad without worrying about travel insurance is always a plus. As is - especially with kids - a mobile phone insurance policy covering several devices (an excess does apply, however). Having breakdown cover on top makes this trio of included policies - with no-quibbles whatsoever (even though I have only claimed once) - makes it a no-brainer for a mere £18p/m. Yes, that premium has increased since I took out the account some 6/7 years ago, but arguably only in line with the level of inflation those individual products have experienced. In fact, I’ve recommended this account to others, such is my satisfaction with it, and the knowledge that I am banking with a mutual - rather than a faceless plc - gives added satisfaction! Oh and finally… great ads, too! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2026
