Nationwide flex basic upgrade

Options
Hi all

Does anyone know if you can upgrade this type of account or do I need to do a new application for a flex account?

I have had the account 6 months now and there is no option to upgrade online like other bank accounts?

Does nationwide have internal scoring if so when do they update their systems?

Thanks
Paul

  • Is this the account with the red card?
  • Yes it's the red card starting 4659 and sort code 07-04-36

    To be fair it's contactless but says FlexBasic on there so wanted to get a normal account now

    From their website:

    How do I upgrade my account?-

    If you're registered for Internet Banking, just log-in (This link will open in a new window) and look for the upgrade links.
    If you're not registered for Internet Banking, just call us on 0800 30 20 10 to upgrade

    Yes and they may also 'auto-upgrade' you keeping you (with notice)

    Are you looking for an overdraft, free insurance or short term credit interest?
