Review of the Nationwide, Credit card:

A human instead of a credit score.

5
I got my credit card with a high credit limit despite a fairly poor credit score and I was able to balance transfer a more expensive card and I now pay a really good APR and hope to end my debt much sooner as a result. So nice to be treated like a human being instead of a credit score. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Happy with the service

Helpful knowledgeable staff, will suggest products to suit you. Been with them for quite a few years & no intention to move. Reviewed on: 2nd January 2020

Worst Bank EVER - DO NOT BANK WITH THIS BUNCH OF CROOKS

1
After getting behind with some payments due to financial problems, Nationwide informed me that they intend to ILLEGALLY change the unsecured credit card debt into a SECURED debt which they were going to secure against my house. This is utterly irresponsible and illegal !!! Reviewed on: 10th November 2019

Caution

5
Before giving me a credit card Nationwide gave me a long talk on the best way to handle money and then quizzed me on all the information. They were very thorough and seemed to really care for my needs. Reviewed on: 22nd June 2019

So easy

Easy to take out, usually a good opening offer available and there for you in an emergency. I had my card stop working on holiday and their advice was great. Reviewed on: 9th June 2019
