Nationwide has really helped me. As an 18 year old with no credit history, Nationwide was the only high street reputable lender that was offering me a credit card after carrying out Elegibility checkers. Good customer services over telephone and in branch. Credit card offered with good credit limit for an 18 year old. Online quotation given gives the customer to confidence to apply before a credit search is done. Shame about the recent cashback reduction but it’s a sign of the times and not Nationwide’s fault.

I've always found the customer service at Nationwide to be absolutely brilliant. And the products are always very reasonable.

Allowed us to pay for holiday of lifetime for Christmas with minimum exchange fees. Also when payments were unauthorised as someone unlawfully stole our details to pay for vouchers online, excellent text alerts to contact and all monies refunded immediately with new card on way in the post. Excellent!

We use our credit card to pay for most things and then pay off the balance in full at the end of the month, this means there is no extra to pay back but we get cash back which over the course of the year ends up being around £75. It is a great card to use abroad as well.

Our review of Nationwide | Credit Card
The Nationwide Credit Card offers customers 0% interest for a year on both purchases and balance transfers (completed within the first three months) – but you don’t have to be an existing Nationwide customer to take advantage of this. During the introductory period there is no fee for balance transfers. After this period it goes up to 2.4%, which is still lower than most credit cards out there.
Those with a Nationwide Credit Card can reap many benefits and rewards when using their card – such as cashback and commission on any foreign transactions when spending in Sterling. There is also a high level of control as customers can use both online and mobile banking to view transactions and statements, complete balance transfers and make payments to their card.
A search of the web provides no reviews specific to the Nationwide Credit Card, however on TrustPilot Nationwide as a bank has received a rating of ‘bad’. Although there are positive reviews, the negative ones tend to mention confusing online applications, less than perfect customer service and a sense of disorganisation with documents and cards going missing which in cases has resulted in the customers receiving charges.
Overall verdict: If you want to take advantage of the benefits then the Nationwide Credit Card could be for you. The 0% for 12 months on purchases and balance transfers is a good welcome offer, and being able to earn cashback and foreign transaction commission for the duration of having the card are an attractive ongoing incentive.
