Nationwide’s main current account is called the “FlexAccount”, and is the main platform for tapping into other financial services from the building society, not least special rates on mortgages, loans, and insurance.

The account comes with a Visa debit card as standard, but you can apply for a Nationwide credit card to run alongside the accounts.
