Whilst Overdrafts are regulated and have to be charged at ridiculous rates, (42%) Nationwide offers a very broad range of competitive products, is fair, transparent and their staff are absolutely spectacular. If I had to pick a favourite branch, it would be the one at Southside Shopping Centre. This was not ideal, during the pandemic, but this branch is easily accessible, especially for disabled customers, is up-to-date with technology. (ATM Deposits of cash appear instantly on your account, for example) and the staff outstanding. At busier times, mainly lunch, it can be a little frustrating, as queues tend to form, but most other times, you can be in and out in under 10 mins. Also, very convenient for retailers who use the Shopping Centre, as they can get their deposits banked without even leaving the centre. I have to admit, Nationwide are slow to realise their potential in this area. Reviewed on: 12th June 2022

Horrendous!!

My fiancé and I are purchasing a house in America. He needs to transfer funds to the States in order to do this. Because of that, Nationwide started a fraud investigation which we had no problem with. What we do have a problem with is that they started it without any of the legal documents. We actually provided them of our own accord. This “investigation” has been going on and on causing us to missed our actual closing date. Not only do you never get to talk to the same person twice, but everyday you get a different story. One person will call and say, ok you’re good to go. Next day you get someone else and the nightmare begins again. Apparently it does not matter if you’ve submitted the legal paperwork or not. They will still freeze your account and prevent you from using your own funds to secure a residence. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2022
