FAQs about Nationwide vs First Direct (or others) [banking] - Reddit Coupon?

Is first directs a good bank?

The new website didn't impress me much either. Nationwides app is fine, and their online banking is excellent. First Directs app is pretty sluggish and tends to cause me grief, particularly on bad connections. Annoyingly if you starting using it then you can't login to their website without it. ...

Is first direct a good company?

Getting around reality is really easy if you're willing to lie to vulnerable old people to steal their money. Bastards.

I found it near impossible to get a stamped bank statement which I required as proof of funds for a house move as a HSBC branch refused to do it. ...

Is NatWest a good FD & HSBC account?

Plus with FD/HSBC if you leave then you become eligible for a switching reward again after a while. Apps are fine for both, I’d say Natwest has the edge. Natwest is fine in every regard other than the inability to give accounts nicknames. So stupid. Their spending categorisation features are decent. ...
