Four figure purchase went wrong in New Zealand when a company claimed it could no longer trade. The Nationwide team got onto the case very quickly and managed to backcharge the company's account. They recovered 100% of the loss including currency exchange rate move.

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.

Opened up credit card in order to do a balance transfer. All went smoothly and was helped every step of the way. Website can be a bit unintuitive at times and persistent requests for passwords and memorable data can be a pain,

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.
