Trying to get answers online is almost impossible and very stressful, I was eventually given a refund from a company I used with no help from nationwide, it showed on my online account for a day then dissappeared showing I still owed all the full original payment, when I eventually got hold of someone from nationwide after a lengthy wait they told me that I did get the refund and stated the refund which was £100 short, when I questioned it, again after a lengthy wait I was told sorry typing error! There should be a way of seeing refunds until clear all the time online, not just for a day! I'm looking at sourcing another credit card company, I have zero trust or confidence in nationwide now.

Nationwide it self is fine. The only issue with their credit card is, there are no perks, like points, rewards, deals or discounts. Use your credit card, pay your bill on time and then story ends. Reviewed on: 28th January 2026

RAHAL saved the day

On the weekend 17/18/19/October I tried to apply for an online Nationwide credit card. But filled in the form unknowingly incorrectly and was refused the card first time ever. Tried the local branch 20/10/25 they gave me a telephone number that no longer existed. I tried for an hour to get through on another number. Rang the branch back they put me through (eventually) to a human a great guy named RAHAL who steered me through the whole process showed me where I went wrong and basically got me my Nationwide credit card So answering the review the electronic phone service was dire absolute pants until RAHAL the cavalry arrived and saved the day Reviewed on: 20th October 2025

Easy to use and understand, especially as a first credit card. I like how it is all able to be accessed online, and you can transfer money between accounts easily and see your balance. I would recommend. Reviewed on: 5th September 2025

Easy to manage.

The Nationwide credit cards are extremely easy to manage. On the Nationwide app, you can view your statements (and past statements) all in one place. It's easy to pay off your balance; simply transfer from one account to the credit account. It's really simple and takes the stress out. Reviewed on: 13th June 2025
