Money, matters

Advantages: Excellent Internet Banking and customer service

The Nationwide Building Society is one of the best building societies available and there must be a branch in every high street in the country with a range of services that are always expanding and the existing facilities getting better! I've had an accou ...

GET FLEXible. Make the most of your HOLIDAY MONEY

Advantages: Cheapest way to have foreign cash and make purchases
Disadvantages: Without a backup source of money or payment system, if it fails for whatever reason, then you could have a problem. But that applies to whatever method chosen. The foreign bank that owns the ATM could charge a handling fee, but that applies to all cards.

Applying online

Advantages: Flexible accounts, easy to understand, good site layout, great customer service, online accounts updated regularly.
Disadvantages: maybe a little on the slow side when it comes to getting an account off the ground when applied for online.

...Since September 2001 I’ve been the proud owner of a Nationwide ‘Flex Account’. I’d been on the lookout for a current account that gave you the option of NOT having a compulsory chequebook and overdraft, but still gave bill payment facilities such as Direc ...
