I've had a Nationwide account since the 1980s but my current account was dormant for many years until I came back to the bank a few years ago and opened a Flexdirect account. So glad I did! As well as excellent customer service, the mutual ethos sits well with my values—the deregulation or constitutional loophole or whatever that allowed so many mutuals to convert to banks was at best unfortunate and at worst a scandal. And this is a building society that still believes in branches—no doubt this will change as its customer profile changes over time and online banking wins, but the commitment to continue for now is principled and laudable.

    They keep their branches open. They give back to their customers. The app is modern.
