The Nationwide Building Society is the largest building society in the world, based not a million miles from my hometown, in Swindon. Hardly a hotbed of financial prowess, but nonetheless, Nationwide's home. I've banked with them since birth, having a small savings account since I can remember. Nowadays, thankfully the task of queuing in places such as banks has become a sporadic task rather than a regular chore due to online banking, something which Nationwide's website provides and uses to optimum effect. www.nationwide.co.uk is obviously the web address, so nothing too hard to remember there. On arrival to the homepage, the familiar blue, red and ...  Read the complete review

So have been a member of Nationwide for a very very long time, have always been happy with the service. But today I'm reviewing the website where I do my internet banking. Have been using Nationwide.co.uk for a few years now. When I go to the homepage I am confronted with all kinds of options, offers on home insurance, travel insurance, mortgages etc... There is also a section with all the latest news affecting the buliding society. Plus sections that will take me to various different services the website can provide me with. usually though, I just log in! When I log in I'm taken to my own personnal page with all my accounts before me. I ...  Read the complete review

I do not hold a Bank account. I hold a Building Society account and I hold it with Nationwide and have done so for at least 16 years (probably longer, but I'm judging it by the age of my eldest child and I know I had an account with them then). Initially I held a passbook account. A thin grey book housed in a plastic sleeve that I would take with me into the Building Society every time I needed to make a transaction. Later, once I had an income requiring a regular place to visit briefly, I added a Flexaccount to my Nationwide holdings. This account uses a plastic card for deposits and withdrawals (and shopping!) rather than a passbook. ...  Read the complete review

Nationwide.co.uk is the online banking address for the Building Society Nationwide. I have had an account with Nationwide for a while. I chose them because I liked the fact that they let you take out money charge free in other countries and I had heard good things about them from other custimers. I had always had accounts with banks before (except an Abbey account a while ago) and I thought that I might get better serviuce from a building society. Anyway, I had nothing to lose so I opened the account. The application for an account was quick and easy, and I was offered the chance to set up an online bank account. I was hesitant; I had heard all ...  Read the complete review

I have a Nationwide Flex account. Its brilliant for using abroad, as you dont get charged for cash withdrawels or for using it in shops or resturants. I found them to be quite friendly when I upgraded to a flex account from a kids account at age 18. The staff in Winchester and Leeds branches are quite friendly and the queues go down quite quickly. They have been awful for my boyfriend, and wouldnt give him a bank account because he had no credit rating in England. Lloyds on the other hand were very happy to give him a visa debit card. So boo Nationwide for that. On the other hand, I also have an Isa and a rewards isa with them. I am ...  Read the complete review
