Great

5
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

Nationwide have always dealt efficiently with any fraudulent transactions using lost/stolen credit cards. Frontline and telephone staff helpful and knowledgeable.

Great Card

5
We use our credit card to pay for most things and then pay off the balance in full at the end of the month, this means there is no extra to pay back but we get cash back which over the course of the year ends up being around £75. It is a great card to use abroad as well. Reviewed on: 6th November 2017
