New Nationwide Switch - both new and existing?

Malchester

Switched into an existing NW Flex Account from Tesco, very easy and speedy. All went perfectly and all up and running now

Oh was that requested before tesco stopped doing switches?

I was going to switch from a Club Lloyds account into an already existing Nationwide account but when the question about Debit Cards came up I didn't know what to answer because I might have been sent a debit card from Lloyds but, if so, have cut it up as I knew I would never use it! Can I answer that I don't have one because if I ever did I have no idea of the debit card number?

noh

If you have the Lloyds app you can view and manage your debit cards.
If you do have a debit card associated with the account all its details can be displayed. If you do not have a card nothing will be shown.
That's how I found out that I didn't have a debit card on the joint account I switched but did have on the sole account.

Edited to remove reference to internet banking. Option is only available via app.

Unfortunately, I don't have the app. I just use my laptop for online banking and can only see an option for managing Direct Debits on there but nothing for Debit Cards!

So how do I navigate to the Nationwide switching tracker (web or app)?

Colsten, anybody?

Thanks in advance

If it's possible in the app, I haven't found it. It's not really difficult to find in online banking. 

You start with the actions dropdown for the account in question






You then select Track




I am not particularly excited about the track option as I didn't have one for the dozens of accounts I have switched in the past, mostly to other banks, and they all switched ok. It's a nice touch from Nationwide to make it available, though.

I think this isn't possible but just checking.. Can you switch a joint account and make it a sole account? 

You are right, it is not possible.

You must have started that switch before the switch offer became available?

noh

Yes you are right that option only available via the app. If you have a suitable device it is easy enough to download and register to use the app.
Otherwise if you state you have no debit card, but there is one on the account, it may delay the switch.
