Review of the Nationwide, FlexDirect:

View on product page

Great interest rate for a limited time.

Nationwide Flex Direct current account gives a fabulous interest rate of 5% gross for the first 12 months, reverting to 1% interest after this period ends. To gain these rates you have to pay into the account at least £1000 per month. We decided to switch our ordinary Nationwide Flexclusive current account in order to receive this higher interest rate. The switch went smoothly, with no problems whatsoever, and we received the advertised rate on account balance up to £2500. Unf... Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

We compared prices and got back to LV who agreed to drop renewal price, and we therefore purchased.

However, if fairness, we did have a claim the following year, not ... Reviewed on: 10th March 2016

Review of the Virgin Money, Cash ISA:

Virgin 2-year fixed rate ISA

Earlier this year I filled in an application form for Virgin Money to transfer my ISA funds from another provider. Virgin Money were offering a more competitive rate for a 2-year fixed rate bond. An appointment was set up at a local branch, and I was helped by a very professional and helpful assistant. She helped me to fill in the forms, explaining each step, and couldn't have been more helpful. The funds were quickly transferred from the previous company, and the paperwork and...
