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

Straightforward credit card

4
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

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

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
