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 product easy to apply and great app Reviewed on: 5th April 2023

Straightforward credit card

A basic credit card with a monthly email prompting me to download and check my statements. Very easy to use. Sadly, cashback was removed a while ago, but I like the fact Nationwide is owned by its members and operates with ethics in mind so I can live without the perk. Reviewed on: 5th April 2023

Good bank

Verry good bank and you have all you need banking online credit card debit card all Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Poor service on credit cards

credits card sometimes dont scan on TFL services and its a recurring issue which isn't dealt with. It can be frustrating if im on-the-go and rushing for a bus and it doesn't work Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

A human instead of a credit score.

I got my credit card with a high credit limit despite a fairly poor credit score and I was able to balance transfer a more expensive card and I now pay a really good APR and hope to end my debt much sooner as a result. So nice to be treated like a human being instead of a credit score. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Does the job, good for spending abroad Reviewed on: 30th March 2023

Takes too long

When you have an issue with a purchase that goes wrong and you think you are covered because it cost more than £100 think again you might be drawing your pension by the time it's resolved one way or the other! Reviewed on: 28th March 2023

Awful bank

Nationwide reduced my credit limit without notifying me then advised me they will do nothing about it. Reviewed on: 23rd February 2023
