Review of the Nationwide, FlexAccount:

View on product page

The Nationwide has gone down hill

The Nationwide has gone down hill and make great play about being a mutual but cannot compete with the smaller new banks on their interest rates as they are very inefficient. They have been giving bonuses to some customers in a unfair way instead of paying higher interest rates. They also have some headline rate accounts to make people believe they pay high rates but you can only invest spall amounts in these accounts. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2025

Review of the Santander, 123 Current Account (discontinued):

The Santander 123 account pays interest

I like the 123 account as I can leave money in the current account to pay bills as they come in and I get interest on the balance. Unfortunately the interest rate is no longer as attractive. The web site and phone app are very easy to use and very helpful either when at home or away. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2025

Long term cash investment.

Took out a long term cash investment. The account setup was easy and the rate of investment was competitive. I have confidence that the bond will progress to maturity without incident. Reviewed on: 26th January 2024

Everything has run smoothly

I have never had any issues with OakNorth and they are constantly trying to improve their offering. Other banks should take note! Reviewed on: 17th March 2023
