Have been with Nationwide for a very long time, for at least a decade if not longer and have in the past used it as my main account, but have used Lloyds for the last 5 years as I am autistic and will often change things around with no explanation given as quite often I don't understand why I wanted to at all. I probably would go back to having the flexaccount back if and when I get a lot more money. Reviewed on: 12th June 2025

No problems, costs nothing and very convenient. I'm proud to be part of Nationwide. Reviewed on: 13th March 2025

Basic only in title

I took out Flexbasic because I didn't want an overdraft as I'd had debt problems. It was the right decision, I have been able to be in control of my spending whilst still getting everything \i need from a current account. The mobile app and also the website are very easy to use and I can do everything I need to do from checking transactions, balances, transferring money to opening new products. I also like how Nationwide is run and that they do things differently. I vote in their AGM and feel like I'm getting a say. Reviewed on: 8th March 2025

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
