Shocking customer service from Nationwide

1
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
