Never had any issues with them, if I've needed to contact them it's been easy enough - if you use Twitter they answer queries fairly quickly on there , or if I've had to phone them it's not been a hassle. Free European travel insurance with their Flex account. Internet banking easy to use and their mobile app works well. If you have any friends that are already with them, I think they're currently doing an offer where you both get some cash if they recommend you to switch to them. *edit* it's £100 each [url=http://www.nationwide.co.uk/products/current-accounts/our-current-accounts/recommend-a-friend-tab]http://www.nationwide.co.uk/products/current-accounts/our-current-accounts/recommend-a-friend-tab[/url]

I'm old enough to remember setting up an account at the old Midland Bank in that building as a kid getting some sort of a piggy moneybox as a 'reward'! The fact that I had to go to the Grimsby branch to talk about a remortgage last year was just daft when the branch was still there and that's why I went with Nationwide.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Promise a man someone else's fish and he votes Labour.

I have that account, get breakdown cover too. Had to use the mobile insurance the other month, really impressed with how quickly it was sorted.

But only really if you have a decent amount to invest. It pays a rate of 3% interest any anything over 3000 upto 20000. Therefore it is better sticking any lump sums in one of these as that rate cannot be bettered on a one year or two year ISA rate and is also a better % than tying it up in a fix rate savings bond. Yet it runs just as any other current account with instant access. CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP FISH

It's also good knowing I'm not paying for any fat cat shareholders and providing a safety net for dodgy investment bankers. Through the door there came familiar laughter, I saw your face and heard you call my name. Oh my friend we're older but no wiser, For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

During the miners strike they froze all interest payments on striking miners loans and mortgages..a decent gesture and they have a very loyal customer base as a reward. The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress. Joseph Joubert.

Totally agree Ian, I've never had any issues with the Yorkshire, they've always been glad to help and the staff are very friendly indeed. Grimsby and proud!
