Review of the Nationwide, Credit card:

Great card

This was the best long term deal I could get for balance transfer and a only 17.9%. Reviewed on: 30th May 2017

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

Quick to solve any issues and quickly onto fraudulent activity
