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

Great 0% credit cards

Taken out two credit cards (wife & I), no interest on purchases for 12 months, keeping money I've spent on cards on Nationwide account (earning 5%). Easy way to make money!!! Reviewed on: 24th December 2016

Online scammed but computer said no

Out group account was broken into and fraudulent transactions were made but nationwide caught every single one before it hit our account, then informed us and deactivated our cards and gave us new ones. Cant sing their praises enough Reviewed on: 18th December 2016

Good for what it is

We use the nationwide card and doesn't seem too steep though I only really have for emergencies Reviewed on: 16th December 2016

Good, but...

They're good for pretty much anyting, but don't believe they are 'different' from any of the banks! Reviewed on: 15th December 2016

Good

I originally acquired the Nationwide credit card as it had no charges if you use it abroad. Reviewed on: 1st December 2016

One of best cards if going abroad

One of best cards if going abroad - low transaction fees. Reviewed on: 29th November 2016

Just OK

I have a Nationwide Visa credit card that I only use for emergencies. I would say it is just OK, nothing more. Reviewed on: 29th November 2016

Excellent service from start to finish

Signed up for a Nationwide 0% on purchases and transfer credit card for a large purchase. Application form was straight-forward and acceptance was instant. Received card the next day and the number for the card three days later. Very happy with the product and the great rate offered after the 0% introductory rate expired. Reviewed on: 14th November 2016

Great offer & customer service

Great service through-out the length of my 0% interest period. My most recent offer has come to an end & the majority of my documentation has been encouraging me to clear my balance or leave to avoid interest charges; quite refreshing for a bank to do this. My previous experience is that this is hidden in the small print. Reviewed on: 11th November 2016

Excellent bank that responds quickly to the customer's needs

Nationwide has very friendly staff that are ready to answer your queries and help you in anyway. They also gave me access to 5% AER for the first 12 months with them. I am very satisfied with their services Reviewed on: 14th October 2016
