Best bank account with insurance benefits

5
This is the most useful bank account I have since it comes with mobile insurance, travel insurance and breakdown for £13 per month which is a bargain. I would recommend Nationwide to my family and friends with any hesitation. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Threatened to close account if I complained to the Financial Ombudsman

1
I made a complaint to the financial ombudsman regarding charges on my account. Nationwide customer service called me and told me they were giving notice to close my account because I had complained. They said I could keep a bank account if I didn’t complain about an wrong doings they did and would monitor my account for any complaints in the future. If I made another complaint about something they did wrong my bank account would be closed. Can’t believe a UK bank can operate by threatening its customers. Reviewed on: 27th January 2021

Utterly useless don't use them

1
Utterly useless don't use them, complained about staff in local branch and was told I was abusive & voilant towards them. All I asked for was replacement card as it gets refused everywhere as won't swipe or use in machine. They said at counter can't do anything you have to phone call center,.

Flex plus Travel Insurance

1
Submitted a claim in April 2020 and it is now January 2021 and they are still undecided over accepting that I was covered when my holiday had to be cancelled when the Danish government banned all foreign nationals from entering Denmark due to the Corona pandemic. I get conflicting views as to wether my claim is valid and have had to keep chasing them for a firm decision before I involve the ombudsman . UK insurance who underwrite these policies are a disgrace and Nationwide should stop using them . Reviewed on: 14th January 2021

Travel Insurance

2
10 years ago we were delayed returning from holiday after flights were cancelled due to an ash cloud caused by a volcanic eruption. We claimed for delayed departure & Nationwide duly paid out. In March our flights from Spain were cancelled due to Covid 19. We eventually returned 4 months later, when flights resumed. Last week Nationwide finally declined to pay out for the delay because we hadn't checked in before the flight was cancelled. Apparently the wording of the policy has been changed. Handy for them given that free check in on Ryanair flights begins only 48 hours before departure. Reviewed on: 7th October 2020

Small print catches out Nationwide Insurance

2
Could not cancel Villa less than 28 days before departure date ( even though Foreign Office advising against travel well before) or would not have covered deposit. Had to cancel more than 30 days before to avoid paying non refundable balance with Interchalet. Result - Credit card charged with balance two days before I could cancel and claim. Makes a change for small print to cost Insurance companies over 400% extra. On another note they made everybody claim their own share of villa costs even though we all had flexplus accounts. They will not even save the extra excesses as everyone was claiming their own flight costs from them anyway. Just a lot of extra admin. Could not even take up Ryanair's offer of free transfer of flights till December as small print would have annulled insurance. Claim now and rebook and pay Ryanair if we are lucky in December.
