Free foreign atm cash withdrawals I love the free foreign atm withdrawals from the flexplus. I travel abroad a lot so the monthly fee is well worth it. Reviewed on: 16th April 2025

Review of the Nationwide, FlexPlus:

Like having your dad run your bank account

Customer service is absolutely shocking, particularly the Transaction Monitoring team. Worse than I’ve experienced from any bank or credit card company. For example: Day 1 (Fri) - I request a CHAPS transfer (required for transfers over £10k) and their website promises 1 working day. Day 2 (Mon) - transfer is held by their transaction monitoring team and my online banking access is blocked with no reason is provided. I call customer services and after being on hold for 1.5 hours with no response (whilst on a family holiday), I hang up frustrated Day 3 - I call first thing and get through after about 50 mins of waiting. I then spend 45 mins being quizzed on why I want to transfer so much money. They ask for details on my proposed investment so I send attachments. They promise the case manager will review by the end of the day. This doesn’t happen Day 4 - I call to chase and the person I talk to asks me to “explain my proposed investment”. I try not to lose my temper, so I refer him to the 45 min conversation the previous day plus requested attachments Day 5 - I call to chase and again I’m promised the case manager will call me by the end of the day. This doesn’t happen. Instead, I get the most insulting email essentially inferring that I don’t know what I’m doing with my own money. I request again that the case manager calls me as they had promised. This doesn’t happen Day 6 (Fri) - the transfer is still held up and my online banking is still blocked. I could now miss the deadline for my proposed investment As at 9pm on 25 July (working day 7) I’m still waiting to hear from the case manager. My transfer is still held up. I am beyond frustrated. If I could sue Nationwide, I would. Is it the role of my bank to decide what I can or can’t invest in? So if you’d like the idea of having a bank account with your dad, then press ahead with Nationwide. Good luck. Reviewed on: 25th July 2022

Good all round account.

Insurance + linked savings account. Good . Easy to use app. Lots of high street branches Reviewed on: 6th March 2025

Really great in branch experiences - the staff are friendly and polite even when busy and remember regular customers. They are the only bank in my town with a physical branch and that is highly valued int he community. They do close for linch sometimes and are not open on Fridays, but I think a little inconvenience is worth it, to support actually having a branch at all. It is especially useful for me as I am a yoga teacher and am often paid in cash. Reviewed on: 5th March 2025

No Faff Banking

Excellent Service, Good Road Map and No Faff products. Reviewed on: 5th March 2025

Great, clear and easy

Everything has always been crystal clear with Nationwide; English is not my first language so banking lingo can be a bit intimidating. The staff is always clear and concise, and their website has all the info I need. Plus, it's a no frill bank account with a few nice perks. Highly recommend it! Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

Just about worth it

I've had very poor experience with Nationwide when making a claim on the mobile phone insurance element of the FlexPlus account in the past. It was so bad that I left them altogether. Since being back my experience has been neutral. I'm not pleased at the price hike but I do at least qualify for the fairer share payment Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

FlexPlus best value for money acct.

I’ve had a FlexPlus account with Nationwide for years and find the add ons very good value for money, especially the travel insurance you can book holidays knowing you are covered for most eventualities, should the worst happen. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

Competitive Travel Insurance Included

Despite having to pay for the account, the additional services make it well worthwhile and in particular the travel inurance is very competitive with dedicated insurance companies. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

Service Quality

Service on line and by phone is excellent Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

Flexplus Account

Have been a Nationwide customer for many years and have always found them to be helpful and have a professional approach to customer service. In addition the Flexplus account offers good value for money. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

A very good bank

Always helpful, polite quick to answer if you call them and always helpful in branch. Been with them a long time and never had any problems even when I was scammed they were quick to call me and get my money back. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025
