Review of the Nationwide, Credit card:

Travelling in Europe

5
I use my Nationwide credit card when travelling in Europe as there is no charge for using it to buy goods or services, unlike with the other credit card I use. It also means the cost of what I bought abroad is separated from my normal expenditure. Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025

Brilliant Credit Card - Helped me out

5
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. Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

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

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
