Nationwide 5 year fixed rate bond

ahai1

I have a few questions about the account.
Do I need to have any other accounts with them?
How long is the application form?
What are the ID requirements? The page failed to load.

Here is what I am talking about. http://www.nationwide.co.uk/savings/bonds/fixedratebonds/introduction.htm

You do have to have a Nationwide Flex (current) account.

Evenasus are you sure that I need a flex account? The reason I ask is that the ebond one mentions this but the bond that I am referring to is branch based and it does not mention this at all.

As far as I'm aware the branch based bonds do not require a Flexaccount, but the ebonds do. Having said that, the ebonds offer a better interest rate.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about an E-Bond.
No, you don't need a flex account to have an branch based bond.

New customers

When you open an account with us, you will need to provide two items of identification. One is to prove your name and the other is to prove your address. Please also have available your National Insurance number.

The evidence we need is shown in the following tables. We just need one item from each table.

The thing is I don't want another current account as I already have one so the branch based one's are the best option.

The proof of address might be a bit of a problem as I live with my parents and I don't have any utalities or a mortgage.

I will go into the branch on Tuesday and sort this out. The branch is close to me.

I would be reluctant to commit to 5 years. That's a long time - and interest rates could well be higher by then

No you don't! This is the regular bond we're talking about, not the e-bond!
