It is slow. Also, there have been problems using Microsoft Money with Nationwide for about one week now.

When I did manage to log onto the site I noticed it was displayng the digits from my passcode - a problem I first noticed when IE7 was introduced

I have used Nationwide online banking for ages but I have never had anything to do with Microsoft Money.

Why use Micosoft Money when you can use the Nationwide site without it?
What advantage is there in using Microsoft Money? I can move my money from one NW account to another, or to banks without it.

Thomas, I don't use M Money in that way. I still use the banks websites for that but M Money for analysis purposes. Incidentally, Nationwide is one of the better places that allows downloads of statements directly into Money rather than manual input.

I think Nationwide is the only banking institution that fully integrates with MS Money (albeit one day behind). Not sure if this will continue as MS no longer produces any more versions of Money for UK customers.

Thanks for your reply sloughflint. I have never seen Microsoft Money so I am not aware of what it can do. Please can you give me some more info about it. In the meantime I will try & find some info on the internet.

I use MS money with LloydsTSB although it doesnt integrate as smoothly as Nationwide.

MS Money is just an accounts register. A graphical front end to a spreadsheet. it allows you to record all transactions you make and reconcile with your statement. Years ago, people used to use the account pages at the front of the cheque book. MS Money is the computer version of that.
