Review of the Nationwide, FlexPlus:

Bad service

1
Was taken ill on holiday abroad with heart condition and admitted to hospital immediately put claim in via phone/online could not share all documents online, trying to ring is a joke on hold over an hour each time. Then mu online claims got cancelled. Sent documents in post had text acknowledgement f paperwork in post but no claim number. Try to call to progress claim closed Tues and Thursdays other days can't get though been nearly 3 months post claim now. Always used never claimed terrible service Reviewed on: 9th May 2023

Fantastic account

You pay a monthly fee for this account but all the benefits you receive are worth so much more. Brilliant account. Reviewed on: 5th November 2018

Complete waste of premium

1
My wife and I ( 78yrs and 75yrs ) went on a coach holiday to Killarney in Ireland . My wife had the great misfortune to suffer a fall on a lunch stop on our way to our hotel in .killarney . She was examined at Killarney Hospital and referred to Tralee . It was a bad break that required surgery and a three day stay in hospital. Despite having receipts for 1 doctors initial referral 50 euros. 2 taxi fares , all transport was at our cost 300 euros . 3 Necessary drugs 30 euros . and various incidentals . Nationwide were were completely unhelpful, and in short we will not receive a penny . It took less than 5 minutes on the phone to take our annual premium , and possibly over three phone calls approx 45 minutes of placing obstacles at every point possible. Even to the point of saying that we must provide them with a ferry ticket which none of us had . It was done in a party of 48 people . I am tempted to use some Very colourful language , but I will close by saying that at least Dick Turpin wore a mask . These b******s don’t . . Reviewed on: 19th October 2018

The customer service dealing with issues, suspected fraud is brilliant. Had 4 breakdowns( one in France) - saved in less then an hour fuss and paper free. Lost phone- replaced in 2 days. Couldn't be more happier with their service. Well worth paying the small fee knowing they got your back and won't question you like criminal every time you call them x Reviewed on: 17th October 2018

I have have used the products and it works

5
have had the account for years and have used the breakdown cover, the travel insurance and the mobile phone cover. The test is that when needed the product provided the insurance cover and I was treated fairly. The standard of cover offered is very good. The service is prompt and easy to access. Great product especially for families. Reviewed on: 20th September 2018

Breakdown Cover with Nationwide

5

How every 'bank' should be

5
I can't rate Nationwide highly enough. Their products are extremely good value for money; their staff friendly helpful & respectful, and of course their ethos means you know that they are doing right by you, instead of lining the pockets of shareholders and fat cat CEOs. The FlexPlus account is excellent value - the breakdown cover, travel insurance and mobile phone insurance have all been used by me and there has never been a single issue. Their online banking service is very user-friendly and has a good interface too. I have my mortgage, loan, Child ISA, credit card and joint current account with them and would highly recommend all of them. Excellent stuff, if only more companies were like them...

Still waiting after 2 months

1
I put in a claim for travel insurance since 23rd April, 2018 and provided all the documents they required. I was contacted to send proof of my watches which I did on the same day. A week after that, I was asked to send estimate to replace the watches. I have not received any correspondence from anyone since I put in the claim. I feel very disappointed with the service Flexplus travel has provided. I call every week and still have not got any update on my claim and recently had to file in a complaint.

Quick pay out for stolen phone

5
Been with nationwide years now first time I had to use any of the insurance due to a stolen phone. Was worried as the phone original order did not have IMEI number on which is a requirement. I wrote in claim this fact and gave a snapshot of my find my phone app with the IMEI number. Very happy that they sent me a new phone very quick Reviewed on: 23rd June 2018

Great service
