Nationwide are very easy to use, very helpful, owned by its members and they don't support genocide or weapons companies (to my knowledge) Reviewed on: 3rd March 2025

Best I've ever banked with

I had problems claiming money back from a travel company that went bust. Nationwide were very patient, helpful and successfully helped me through the process. Nationwide also believes in paying customers back which they have done with me twice :) Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

Shocking customer service from Nationwide

I am not a Nationwide customer but I went into their branch in Marlborough after withdrawing some cash from their ATM outside the branch. My request was a simple one, could I change £15 in notes into change to keep in my car for parking fees and supermarket trollies. The response from the cashier was to say in a very loud voice: no we can’t do that it’s money laundering! When I questioned this the retort was, again in a very loud voice, that is what a money launderer would say. This was not only very embarrassing but shows a shocking lack of understanding from the branch staff. This has put me off from ever using Nationwide again. Also my wife had a Nationwide current account but after the initial bonus period it offered so little she decided to change to a better offering from Chase. Reviewed on: 30th July 2024

Nationwide Cares

They always let me know when there is a new savings scheme or interest rate rise that will benefit me. I have a vote and a say in Nationwide. They have never let me down in over 20 years. Reviewed on: 31st July 2023
