I had the same to move to my own Santander account that I’ve transferred to many times. Only £100 too.
In the end it’s quicker to transfer the £100 to joint account then the fiancé sends the £100 to me without a card reader

I have biometrice enrolled, worked on the first phone I set it up on…
I moved to a new phone and despite it saying it’s set-up on the new device it ALWAYS asks for a card reader! I hate it and it’s the one thing that has me wanting to ditch Nationwide.

People having card reader issues might want to reinstall the app or contact Nationwide. I’ve not used my card reader in months on any existing payee, so sounds like there is an issue with your account.

I must say Nationwide support has always been superb for us, and we’ve been with them for over 15 years. Whether it was a personal query, a FlexPlus insurance query or (most importantly) the two occasions I asked for a chargeback from the Nationwide Credit Card people, support was always spot on.

God forbid I try and move some money to my own account. What year are we in? I’ll be closing it instead. Absolute rubbish. I don’t even have a card reader anymore.

I think you’ll find you need the card reader to do that too. It’s the one thing that they consistently want me to use the card reader for.

Bingo!
Better to wait for one of the £200 CASS offers and make some money out of it. If you’ve any savings accounts with them, they’re not closed or moved by CASS. And, seeing as you won’t have a current account with them after the CASS, you’re likely talking branch visit to close them.
The dreaded card reader 
I’ve never understood why Nationwide still have it? They could send a code/pin to your phone, or use FaceID… They are so many more convenient options out there.

I rinsed all the switch offers years ago sadly, so no more free money for me 
I don’t even use this account - was going to pay some cash in and then transfer to Monzo but I won’t even be able to transfer it to myself!
If you did them years back, you might be able to take another run at them. Last I looked, some were saying that you could do them again if you hadn’t done them since some date in 2022.

Laughably, now that UCB (part of Nationwide) said they can’t do the remortgage for me because TMW don’t operate in NI and UCB don’t issue mortgages anymore, it looks like the remortgage will be with Virgin. So, aside from costing a chunk of cash and getting a lower rate, I’m still with Nationwide!

A quick question for the collective wisdom here:
Just started to use a Nationwide Credit Card for holiday related things. Have had card for years - used to be a Select Card.
While some online payments work fine, with quite a few well known and reputable firms the card does not work. It seems to be rejected by the 3D secure system or similar.
Speaking to Nationwide they have not declined anything and the card is fully unblocked, functioning etc. They assure me they would have approved anything.
The even stranger thing is that on the websites where my card didn’t work, immediately afterwards my wife’s Nationwide credit card did?
Has anyone else had this issue, or similar? A bit of a mystery, but inconvenient as well.
Nationwide generally allocate a different sort code to each type of account.

Strange, how it is only for a certain account and kind off desperate in keeping customers.
lol it’s just reach plc being reach plc
If you put in the maximum £20,000 into the ISA on day one, you will have earned a whopping £900 in interest by the time the account matures, which works out around £75 per month.

I suppose so @peacefulwave, typical news websites though.
