Review of the Nationwide, FlexBasic:

Very useful

Replacement card arrived in days, and cancelling my lost one was simple Reviewed on: 7th February 2018

Straightforward banking

Straightforward banking - prefer to the other High Street banks - also more branches locally Reviewed on: 28th February 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

Fair, helpful, honest

Great staff and care about people Reviewed on: 1st February 2023

Very easy to use

I've always found them easy to communicate with and very polite. Reviewed on: 13th January 2023

Does everything it needs to

Good app, stores locally, good customer service Reviewed on: 17th September 2022

Well Established Company

A good experience when contacting for a query. Reviewed on: 25th July 2022

Friendly and helpful staff

I've always been impressed by the customer service at nationwide. Reviewed on: 15th February 2022

Good professional services

4 year and good team professional services all the best Reviewed on: 6th February 2022

Very flexible account

They are proactive in spotting suspicious account activity. They let you post cheques to the local branch so there's no need to visit in person. I've been with them for over 30 years so I'm still happy. Reviewed on: 5th February 2022

Terrible service

I recieved terrible service in the Southend On Sea branch with one member of staff actually lying about his name saying he was called Tim when in fact the complaints team tell me his name was Steve. When I complained about this and other events on the day I was phoned by David Knight a so called member relations consultant who lied himself to defend the indefensible. If this is the way Nationwide have gone it is a very sad indictment of society indicating these people would go to all lengths to save there jobs at the expense of customer service.
