    So they've done it again, what a surprise!

    Flexaccount - a membership account but don't let that fool you - has not increased a third time running. (I did predict this would be the case.)

    The justification/claim to accuracy?
    Further to Nationwide's announcement on 12 January that all variable rate savings accounts would increase by 0.25% from 1 February 2007, the Society confirms details of those rates for savers.
    Yes, a 'current account' isn't a 'savings account' - end of argument.

    But what's it doing in a table headed "NATIONWIDE BUILDING SOCIETY SAVINGS RATES" then? If it's listed in 'savings rates' tables then it's a 'savings account' - the fact that it's also a current account doesn't negate this.

    But this is exactly what Nationwide did last time - it's a tried and tested formula for saying one thing and meaning another. It's not an accident - they aren't accident prone - it's deliberate.
    .....under construction.... COVID is a [discontinued] scam
