Review of the Nationwide, FlexBasic:

Very handy card to use. Not just for card purchases but also to draw money out.

5
I have found Nationwide to be a great bank to deal with. The staff on the telephone are always very polite and helpful and whenever I need a new card sent out it is done in a timely manner. I have a cash card and a loyalty Saver with Nationwide both of which I use on a regular basis. I would highly recommend Nationwide to friends and family. Reviewed on: 9th November 2015

Have been with Nationwide for a very long time, for at least a decade if not longer and have in the past used it as my main account, but have used Lloyds for the last 5 years as I am autistic and will often change things around with no explanation given as quite often I don't understand why I wanted to at all. I probably would go back to having the flexaccount back if and when I get a lot more money. Reviewed on: 12th June 2025
