Will it have push notifications for all transactions? That’s all I want now.

Not on internet banking

Since moving onto the mainland I have been looking for a account that pays interest.
I heard / saw that Nationwide Flexdirect pays 5% on balance. That sounds really good. Plus did i see something about some cashback?
It’s only for the first year and not if you’ve had a FlexDirect before, but that said it is indeed a good deal for a current account. It also has the best coloured (minty-green) card. The app is somewhat prehistoric but the customer service is good.
I didn’t realise the cashback was a regular thing, but that’s also on offer for the first year (capped to £5 a month).
edit: the other interest paying free current account is Kroo but some on here have horror stories about their early days.

Updated savings account screens to match current accounts. Just need to do credit card screen now.

Interesting. There’s more information about the implications for the Virgin side here:

Interesting that they seem likely to move the Virgin BTL mortgages to TMW. TMW don’t operate in NI and that’s where I am.
I’ve been selected to beta test the new internet site so will see what that is like.

I’ll be interested to hear your views. The current web banking site looks like something from the 90s.

When does the trial for the new internet banking start?
Think it’s meant to be over the next few weeks
I wonder if they will make the new website look like the app?
Anyone know how long a joint savings account shows in the other persons app? My wife opened one for us last night and showed in hers instantly but nothing in mine yet.
Nationwide don’t like you
It took around a full 24 hours to show up recently for me and my wife.

I’m afraid this process often goes wrong. We have given up with Joint Savings with Nationwide as a result. Their system seems not to match profiles well, so they likely have two versions of your wife. You can call but it always takes weeks to fix. It used to work smoothly years ago - their staff constantly moan about how the process of opening a Joint account with an existing customer is broken.
We only have 1 account between us so don’t see how my wife could have 2 profiles
Oh moving it from starling?
Nah it’s the regular saver that you can put £200 a month in, should also guarantee us the fairer share payment if they do it again
