Ratings and reviews

Easy to use, everything is straightforward and it's easy to keep track of my accounts. Rated 3* because there's a few features that would be great: a pay feature would be so good like other banks do for times I don't want to carry my purse with my bank card in; and a scan option to pay in cheques, especially since all my local branches are in town centres which are a pain to get to.

Would be good to get a notification every time your card is used. I say this because last week, I was sat watching tv when my phone pinged twice, I look and saw that there were two purchases on my credit card. I went on my credit and blocked the card, but by that time a total of six transactions had taken place. God knows how much it would of been, if it hadn't been for the notifications. These transactions were for a place in America, so a toddle on/off for foreign transactions would be good.

I had to download the app onto a new device, and after entering all the required details, a technical error pop-up appears to either try again or check their status page ( status page reports everything is working fine). This happens several times. A week later, I tried again, and the same problem I called Nationwide was to make sure the details I entered were the same details they held on my online banking. Everything is identical to the details they hold in my online banking setup. ??
