Do you find this even remotely reassuring?

Olipro

you seem to be taking my quote out of context.

Clearly by "everyone" I mean Nationwide account holders, if you are trying to insinuate that I meant they have the signature of the entire British populace then there's not much I can say.

I am a Nationwide Flexaccount customer, it is not my main bank account. I was away from home and and visited a branch in north Oxfordshire. I handed over my card at the counter and asked to withdraw five hundred pounds. To my utter amazement and disgust the cashier handed over the money without asking a single security question.

I thought that she might ask the rough balance of the account or my address but there was none of that. That has never happened with HSBC. Anyone with a Nationwide account should be extra careeful with thier cards. The security could not have been worse.

This practice is not exclusive to Nationwide. I bank with Smile and always get cash from a Co-op bank over the counter against my debit card, and like you, I have never been asked any security questions, which is a bit unnerving to say the least. Mind you, they always ask me if I would like a loan???;)
