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

Nationwide is a trusted financial institution. With Nationwide, I experience reliability, community, and comprehensive services. They offer a range of banking solutions, from current accounts to mortgages and investments. As a member-owned organization, Nationwide prioritizes the needs of its customers and operates with a strong sense of community. I can count on Nationwide for dependable banking services and a commitment to serving my financial needs. Reviewed on: 11th June 2023

Good, but could be better

Nice staff and when you go in the Branch it's nice, however the app itself is pretty useless. You can't upload cheques on the app like with other banks and I don't have a branch nearby. So it's behind it's times. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2023
