Nationwide Switch Experience

Opened a Nationwide account last week. Just logged in to internet banking for the first time. WOW, it's like something from the 1990's.

Looks like I need to wait for them to post me a card reader! Didn't realise those things existed anymore.

Nationwide are notorious for being extremely fashioned, their app is absolutely hopeless too. They are like a VHS rental shop in the age of streaming.

I interact with Nationwide (via their app) for about 5 minutes every month, pay in £1k, move £200 to the regular saver, move £800 out.

For this they give me a saver paying 6.5% plus £100 once a year.

I can live with the novelty app for this, wouldn't be using them for daily banking though.

Anyone been successful on the latest Nationwide switch and how long between meeting all the criteria and receiving the incentive?

My wife has just completed everything but no sign of the £175 yet.

I applied 4th Jan. I set the switch date as 20th Jan. Received a text yesterday to say the switch was complete/ old account closed. Today I received a text saying I have qualified for the £175 and should receive it withing 10 'calendar' days

I received my £175 within 24 hours of the switch completion.

Very impressed.

Say you open a new Flexaccount with Nationwide and create a new login credential.
Is it possible to get a switching Incentive, on this new account if If you have got switching incentive, in 2023  ?

It's very unlikely unless you somehow managed to secret squirrel your identity, they will do a credit check, confirm your ID and confirm you had one before
