Nationwide - best customer service

5
I used to bank with Lloyds and I absolutely hated going into my bank, in fact I dreaded it. I hated the ridiculous fees that were applied to my account when I went overdrawn and I hated the fees on the planned overdraft facility. Since I switched to Nationwide 2 years ago, everything is just so simple, their customer service is always excellent and in fact I actually like going into any of the branches as I know I will always be greeted with a smile and nothing is too much trouble for them. Nationwide have never applied any fees to my account and switching was the best thing I did. I would recommend Nationwide a million times over, I am a very happy customer.
