    There is a bug in Nationwide's systems with this account. It seems to not be recognising the initial payment when determining whether an opening payment has been made despite it being credited to the account.

    Somebody else reported this problem a couple of weeks ago: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6401567/nationwide-flex-instant-saver-asking-for-a-payment

    And I see mine has the same message. 
    Oh right, thanks. I’ve been with nationwide for ages, but their service and their interest rates are not what they were. I’ve wanted to stay with them because they are a building society rather than a bank, but I’m starting think they’re all as bad as each other, so I’m seriously considering moving. 
    @horsewithnoname you might want to have a look at their start to save issue 2 - that has a prize draw (with eligibility requirements) and it pays 5% on balances from 1st dec
    If you want me to definitely see your reply, please tag me @forumuser7 Thank you.

I research before my posts, and I never intend to share anything that is misleading, misinforming, or out of date, but don't rely on everything you read. Some of the information changes quickly, is my own opinion or may be incorrect. Verify anything you read before acting on it to protect yourself because you are responsible for any action you consequently make... DYOR, YMMV etc.

    Only good for £50 a month though- which is a shame with that rate!
