    Would be nice if they would offer a switch bonus again. One of the very few I haven't used for a switch incentive. 

    Edit: Just googled when the last offer was and BOOM, they also launched a new offer for £200.

    Lost track of when my last switch offer into Nwide was but just searched my inbox and had a switch complete in late August 2021 so ineligible for this one unfortunately.

    Just a note on the Nationwide Flex Regular Saver, from the product T&Cs. The maximum you can make is £104 at the end of 12 months* (annual interest only). It is fixed term, variable rate. The maximum deposit is £200 per calendar month.

    * if interest rate does not rise above 8%

    Most of the recent ones with good rates of 7% or 8% have been variable which makes it hard to predict the ultimate interest when the rates start to drop.

    Was considering ditching Club Lloyds MS but it’s fixed. At the moment I’ll pay 40% on that which makes my ISA better
  • Tried to apply, but want business name and address.
    Will need to call first I think.
    As a carer I don’t have either.

    Just a thought, maybe a silly one, but would it work if you put your own address in?

    Have now successfully applied for Nationwide Flex Regular Saver 2 and transferred £200 into it.

    It was a bit of a laborious process and I was doing this in internet banking as an existing customer.
