It’s super easy to see how much you owe on their online banking app. It’s simple to see when your statement will be available too, and see an overview of all your accounts in one place. It’s also easy to transfer from current account to credit card. Reviewed on: 6th March 2025

The app is not very good, constantly crashes or freezes. No benefits to having this credit card, but easy to pay if you have a Nationwide bank account. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

First credit card i’ve ever had, and the product offered to me is great, not had to pay any interest yet. Able to set myself an amount limit Reviewed on: 5th February 2025

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

Poor support system for credit card customers.

1
I expected alerts from Nationwide to inform me when payments to my members credit card account. None came, unlike my other credit card accounts. It was my first credit card with Nationwide and did not realise you were expected to 'self-manage' my account, as I was later informed by their representative after Nationwide had lodged an adverse credit report against me because a payment was missed. I had historically cleared my account each month but that did not count with Nationwide. They are the only company who think it's hard work to have a supportive communication system in place for their credit card members. Reviewed on: 18th December 2024

Made a valid claim but was declined.

Made a valid claim but was declined. They never contacted me. I had to chase this up. Credit guarantee system was not backed up. Reviewed on: 13th November 2024
