Good Points

Great rates, simple bank account, love the 0% charge on foreign transactions. Very good saving account rates with no commitments.


Bad Points

Trouble opening and maintaining bank accounts
Worst online banking site i've seen.


General Comments

I moved to nationwide for the 0% charge on foreign purchases. I had to apply 3 times as they kept messing up the application.

Their online site is what you would expect an online banking site to be in the 1990's/early 2000. Very simplistic, does not download straight into your ms money (unless you have a linked up uk version) or bother with quicken. The transaction details are non existent (line item is 'atm withdrawal', no mention of location, etc., and this is for all purchases)

All in all the account delivers what it promises. If you're a heavy online banking customer, its not the easiest to manage. I still put almost all my banking with another institution as its easier to manage the account.

    If you click on the 'View full statment' at the top right of your flex account page. You will find it will bring up a more detailed account of your transactions.
