For the Aged
The right Bank. Polite, Patient, Helpful. The kind of Bank I need
Not the best
Not to good, there’s better online banking
Pretty good
The only thing I don’t like is that to change the payment reference for a payee (eg invoice number) I have to go through a whole re-validation each time.
Unstable
When it works the app is great. However 7/10 times when you really need it, you cannot log on…
App Notifications
Would be a great app if you got notifications on spending and receiving payments
Easy to use
This banking app is the simplest I’ve found to use. And I’ve used them all!
Card reader required?!
Usually a fantastic app, but recently required a card reader to move money around, with no alternative. I’m actually very in favour of card readers, they’re a fantastic fail safe when, eg a phone breaks, and you don’t lose access to your banking like a lot of other high street banks. But not as the ONLY option. I’m away from home, I don’t have my card readers with me, therefore my money is stuck in one account. Really unacceptable. You must provide alternative options - app, SMS passcodes, and card reader, otherwise people’s money is held to ransom. 5 stars will be restored when this issue is fixed.
A good app
A good app, my only issue is when money goes in or out your account, you don’t get a notification. If they could sort that it would be perfect
Fantastic financial institution, but the app needs modern features
As a building society, Nationwide is outstanding! Their customer service, products, and ethics are top tier, and I really enjoy banking with them. However the mobile app feels a step behind competitors like NatWest or Barclays. The biggest miss is instant push notifications for account activity. Having real time alerts when money comes in or goes out is a basic feature on almost every other banking app, and it makes managing day to day finances so much easier! Nationwide is so close to having a complete package! if the team adds real time transaction notifications, this app will easily be 5 stars!
It’s Great
I’ve been using the Nationwide app for many years and it is easy to navigate, make transfers, pay invoices and it has always been stable and reliable. Thank you.
Con
When they gave out the last customer cash back my account was omitted even though it had 130k in it. Utter joke, it’s not the money but the principle now in the process of moving my money to another bank
Great but need more push notifications
Great app but need push notifications for money in and out and card spend etc
Notifications
Push notifications for money in and out, transactions, card payments. All these notifications need to be implemented asap. Such a crucial feature that should be on the app from the beginning.
Banking
App is readily available, except odd weekends overnight. Easy to use, supportive, and monitoring for any potential scams. Advising and asking “Is this you?” Very easy to manage between accounts.
Navigate accounts and transactions
I really disappointed in the account selection and transaction listing. Accounts could show both nick names and actual account descriptions, transactions could show more details and a running balance. I have just been changed for an overdraft that I didn’t actually use and had to go into each transactions and check the running balance to be told it was an error. May be an * against transactions or even better balances to show which balance is being charged interest. £50 zero against the actual rate.
Great, but lacking
I have other bank accounts but Nationwide is my main one. All my other banking apps i get a notification when money enters the account. The nationwide account still doesn’t have this, which, IMO is a basic bit of functionality which is missing. Please get this added in
Important shortcoming
Perfectly good app but unfortunately will only allow one account name per device. e.g. I have my 15yr old daughters account on my iPhone in order to monitor her expenditure which therefore won’t allow me to have my own account on the same device. Annoying.
Simply The Best
Does What it sez on the tin.
Can’t open my account
Awful experience I can’t see my account in this app! No idea what to do . Online help says check for updates ?? Where I can’t get in it keeps trying to search for a connection!😩
Transaction names?
Why do some transaction just have numbers rather than who money has been transferred to and from. Very frustrating when working out finances. The credit card statements are not easy to follow either. My current on screen balance shows a bill of £77 but I can only see transactions amounting to £60.
It works
A fantastic app that does exactly what I need and no more. It works on iOS, it works on Android and more importantly, it works on the ultra secure GrapheneOS. This is a financial app done right. The only extra I’d like is a NFC payment system built-in to the app to avoid the Apple and Google systems.
Limited functionality
Unable to change paperless settings for credit card statements. Online chat unable to help - they said they have limited functionality on their side. They asked me to phone customer service. Reluctant to do that as i am abroad and don’t wish to incur foreign phone call charges. Very disappointing that agents on chat service don’t have that functionality.
Well done
It has a very good setup but there isn’t many options to customise and it is a bit basic
Mr
Very impressive
Didn’t transfer DD’s
Don’t trust the transfer process, only two of my direct debits transferred over
Best app
I am on it all the time.
Bogus Credit score via Equifax
I was happy with the Nationwide app and Nationwide in general. However they recently the rolled out a Credit Score feature in partnership with Equifax. I was surprised and shocked my credit score was so low (I check it often with other credit agencies and although not perfect it is high), apparently because I was not registered to vote at my address (again, I am). App says to contact Equifax but of course they don’t care. I had to register, they try to nudge you to verify and provide even more sensitive information but I managed to open a case without verification, they confirmed I am registered to vote as I knew and closed the case. Their website doesn’t allow commenting on that case anymore. I opened another case and they now says “we are not nationwide, contact them”. So yes, this is a waste of time and offensive given these parasites make money off our data (without our consent). If you roll a feature on your app take responsibility for what it’s shown on it rather than wasting people time and causing stress.
Honey I’m home
What a banger
Error message everytime
I can’t easily get into my account for the past couple of days.

Brilliant work thank you ☺️
No way to pay credit card at a future date
All the basics are there and good but this is really frustrating. It is a bit like you order an excellent soup but it has a fly in it. Why is the pay credit card missing the pay later option under “When”? I used to go around that by using “pay someone” menu but I no longer see my credit card listed under the payees, even though it is there in the Payees menu.
