'That is a completely untrue statement.
There are several ways in which to avoid the £10 monthly charge.
The simplest of which is to open an e-Saver account and deposit £1.'
I went to get an account and asked about the fee and explained that I couldn't pay in £1000, and I was told to pay it for a month and then stop it. Not once was I told I would be charged, if that's what I did!0 -
Nationwide have issued me with a card reader which has a super big display and lovely pouch to keep it in. It is far superior to the standard (toy) one but the main snag is that it ties up your debit card if you don't want to go hunting for it every time you want to log in and they won't issue a duplicate just for that purpose. They let you log in with memorable data as an alternative but just try moving money to a non-Nationwide account without the card reader; it can't be done.0

Lloyds TSB so far don't. Co-op bank has one for the first time you set up a new transaction. After that you don't have to use it.
HSBC have this secure key type thing you need to log in everytime but you don't need it for transactions I thnkYou'll have to speak up; I'm wearing a towel0 -
You Do Not Have to use the reader to log on to your Nationwide accounts if you dont like the faff of having to find a card and the reader.
Just read down the log in page and you will see.
To log in with your card and card reader please follow the instructions below:
Or, use your memorable data and passnumber to log in.
Just click on the blue link and log in as before the reader was thought of, Simples.
I havent used the reader for months now, lets hope they dont twig.ac's lovechild0 -
Lloyds TSB so far don't.
They do on business accounts. However, to make up for that, they allow greater amounts to be transferred online than those without card readers.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).
