Review of the Nationwide, Credit card:

Good for using on holiday

4
Excellent exchange rates and charges for using abroad. Reviewed on: 11th April 2023

Terrible terrible terrible customer service

1
The people are nice enough. They are utterly stuck inside a "process driven organisation" where the processes are deeply flawed and hurt their customers. No contact methods (that work) are available to help customers with problems. Awful bank Reviewed on: 7th September 2023

Useful Bank Account,

5

Good bank

5
I’ve been with nationwide for a long time and used the banking service both in person and online. I’ve had the best of service. Reviewed on: 24th August 2023

Really poor service, really poor company

1
Had a double charge at tesco for the same purchase - they didn't care. Called tesco who said they couldn't do anything about it... 6 weeks later and 3 letters later I'm down £90 and leaving this useless bank. Reviewed on: 4th July 2023

Good basic credit card

4
Nationwide credit card allows fee free spending abroad. An ongoing cash back option would make this card more attractive Reviewed on: 7th June 2023

Avoid!

1
1 star is more than what they should get but I can't do zero. 7 people I've spoken to today. Three times "cut off" and one time I failed security reading direct from my bank statement the answers!!! Shocking serice. I'm now trying to pay my balance and cancel my card and I can't even do that. All this started from multiple payments on my account I didn't ask for. Any other credit card company would have stoppd these straight away as they're still pending. But not nationwide. A million hoops for customers to jump through despite the answers being correct still no help, yet nothing for the companies who scam us! Don't bother using them terrible company Reviewed on: 6th June 2023

Good company

5
I recommend it nationwide bank because there’s high security Reviewed on: 2nd June 2023

Easy to manage credit card

4
I like the fact that Nationwide ask you to opt in when they offer to raise your credit limit. It's easy to view transactions on the app and website and easy to download monthly statements. Shame it's not cashback any more but other than that, can't complain. I also like the fact Nationwide is owned by its members and has co-operative values. Reviewed on: 31st May 2023
