Nationwide ISA accounts

Hi

I want to open Nationwide cash and HtB ISAs, but plan to use the £100 switching offer later this year. Will opening an ISA account rule me out from the £100 switching offer and 5% current account?

Kind regards

    No it won't, so long as you don't hold a current account with them you're eligible for the switch bonus. You're eligible for the FlexDirect 5% so long as you haven't received it before.

    I have a mortgage with them but still received the refer-a-friend bonus.

    There is nothing in the terms that say you don’t qualify and can’t get the £100 if you already hold a current account. It only says you can’t have had the bonus before.

    I switched an account from a different bank to my existing Nationwide FlexAccount and I received the bonus after being recommended by a friend.
