Good service, great app & friendly staff in-branch

After being extremely let-down by Natwest, who took over £2000 in charges from me (despite my being in financial hardship due to illness), I changed my current account to Nationwide. The process was very easy & I was able to switch to an account without an overdraft or fees. The app works well (easy to navigate & reliable) and they warn you well in advance on the login page if there's going to be maintenance. I liked being able to set up alerts that tell me when my account balance gets down to my chosen amount, and they also message me if there's a Direct Debit pending & not enough money in the account to pay it (and it gives me until 2.30pm to pay money in to cover it). The staff in my local branch are always helpful & welcoming, plus their cashpoint outside also takes deposits so you can pay money in at any time, even out of hours. I haven't had any experience of trying to get help with any issues, so I can't report anything about online or phone customer service. Reviewed on: 8th July 2022

Accepted for once :)

I'm happy with PayPal Credit as one of the few lenders that would actually accept me. It has really helped me with larger purchases I can't afford outright due to being on a low NHS wage. Reviewed on: 8th July 2022
