Review of the Nationwide, Credit card:

Don't believe their hype

I have a credit limit of £5000 on a credit card. Never use it all, always only about £1200. So this month paid an amount (that was the full amount) of £850.00. Evidently the cheque took a while to get there. No, even though there was still £4,2000 credit available, these idiots at Nationwide not only took a late payment of £10 (no objection) but still with £4,200 credit available, they declined a payment of £8.20. Now you need to be totally devoid of common sense to do that. What is wrong with Nationwide? I am a long term customer. Never been overdrawn, never any trouble, yet the treat me with total disrespect. Nationwide do no deserve decent, good customers. A bank to give a miss. A nd whilst these pen-pushers were telling me they hadn't received the cheque in payment, this morning I spoke to my other bank (Halifax) and they say that the cheque had been cleared. So Nationwide were either lying or incompetent. take your selection. A company that is all talk and just not interested in true customer service. Reviewed on: 29th January 2025

Easy to open my credit card with cash back on every purchase. Reviewed on: 19th January 2018

Brilliant Credit Card - Helped me out

Nationwide has really helped me. As an 18 year old with no credit history, Nationwide was the only high street reputable lender that was offering me a credit card after carrying out Elegibility checkers. Good customer services over telephone and in branch. Credit card offered with good credit limit for an 18 year old. Online quotation given gives the customer to confidence to apply before a credit search is done. Shame about the recent cashback reduction but it’s a sign of the times and not Nationwide’s fault.

Select Credit Card

A standard Credit Card however offers no non-sterling transaction charges saving £100s of unnecessary fees. Spot rate offered is good also. Reviewed on: 6th January 2018

I've always found the customer service at Nationwide to be absolutely brilliant. And the products are always very reasonable. Reviewed on: 5th December 2017

.5% cashback on everything!

Great card, very attractive rates for spending abroad and .5% cashback on everything you purchase! Reviewed on: 2nd December 2017

Great

Allowed us to pay for holiday of lifetime for Christmas with minimum exchange fees. Also when payments were unauthorised as someone unlawfully stole our details to pay for vouchers online, excellent text alerts to contact and all monies refunded immediately with new card on way in the post. Excellent! Reviewed on: 27th November 2017

Pain-free balance transfer

Opened up credit card in order to do a balance transfer. All went smoothly and was helped every step of the way. Website can be a bit unintuitive at times and persistent requests for passwords and memorable data can be a pain, Reviewed on: 22nd November 2017
