Nationwide credit cards

Nationwide is a mutual building society and so is owned by, and run for the benefit of its members. They are the UK''s second largest savings provider and the third largest mortgage provide.

Nationwide launched the UK’s first retail internet banking service in 1997, and was the first UK credit card issuer to introduce a ‘summary box’, outlining each card’s rates, charges and key points. This is now a legal requirement for every card issuer.

What does Nationwide offer?

The Nationwide Gold credit card offers a number of benefits and, for those who do not qualify for a gold card, the Nationwide Classic credit card is also highly competitive.

Both the Nationwide Gold and Classic credit cards offer the following benefits:

  • 0% on balance transfers for 15 months
  • 0% on purchases for 3 months
  • Commission free purchases abroad

Which will be best for you depends on what you want from a credit card and how you will use it. When comparing deals, ensure you look at how much you need to spend to take full advantage of the benefits.

Also, remember to pay your balance in full at the end of every month, otherwise any rewards you earn may be wiped out by the cost of paying interest.
