Ratings and reviews

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. ??

Revised down to 1 star as crashes have just not been resolved, and I was asked for the card reader to make a new payment when not at home (meaning I had to transfer to another bank and pay from there). Otherwise a good app as can do most things on it, especially replacing the irritating card reader for routine tasks like adding a payee, but often asks to delete and reinstall, or that there's a service availability issue, yet when closing the app completely then restarting everything is fine!

This app works a treat, and does what it supposed to do. I can pay my bills, move money to different accounts, and saving is easier, as if I have any money left before pay day, I can move it to a savings account. I can view statements and check my spending on credit cards. If my debit card ever goes missing or stolen, I can freeze it before reporting it stolen. I wish you could scan cheques to pay in like some other banking apps. This is a very useful app, but wish you could pay in cheques.

What’s new

We've introduced dark mode! Now, if you use dark mode on your device, the colour scheme of our banking app will change to match. You can also choose your preferred theme from the Personalisation menu in Profile & settings.
This is great when using our app in low-light and improves visibility for customers with low vision.

We've also fixed a few bugs to keep things running smoothly.
