This bank is the reason my career is hanging in the balance, I opened an account with them at 16, my father has placed large sums of money, around 15,000 a year into it for my flight training. I am now 19 and went to speak with them about getting a small loan to fund the rest, they said no. I asked if there was any student type loan offer available, they said no. I asked if someone could co-sign they said no. If i had have used natest or barclays or any other bank, they would have offered it, but my history is with nationwide so i have few options, all i can hope now is that natwest, can see that this is a good proposiion and provide me with the professional study loan. ...  Read the complete review

In my view nationwide is a small bank for small customers and I couldn't be happier with that. I've never seen a bank with so FEW arbitrary rules, my local branch is friendly, open on saturdays and I can generally expect to be served quickly with few problems. Their online banking service is always up, its easy to use, convincingly secure and lets me move money around with the greatest of ease. You request loans, credit cards, open new accounts, extend your overdraft - all online - I couldn't be happier - the only thing you can't do is change your full address which is understandable. When I say its a small bank I am ofcourse referring to the sheer ...  Read the complete review

Nationwide is the largest building society in the UK offering a wide range of financial products from savings accounts to mortgages to insurance. The building society has an extensive branch network meaning that there is a branch on nearly every high street. I have had a savings account with them for over 16 years and a few years ago I decided to move my current account with them due to their branch network, as the bank I was with has very few branches in the South East. I should point out this review mostly focuses on their current account banking service. The Good ------------- Their current account is called the ...  Read the complete review

I have been a memebr of Nationwide for nearly four years now having opened a smart account with them because of its interest rate and all though it is still relatively high I am not impressed with the company as a whole. Firstly I use their internet banking facility and find it unbeliable that they do not offer BACS, especially when every other bank I know of does free of charge. Whilst I appreciate they do not want to be providing free transfer of amounts such as 50p they could easily set a minimum transfer figure. Therefore the only other way to transfer money out of the account is by requesting a cheque withdrawl which takes a couple of days and then you ...  Read the complete review
