What do Nationwide credit cards offer?
Nationwide Building Society offers a Member credit card that comes with a choice of 0% offers plus unlimited commission-free purchases abroad, making it one of the most competitive cards for overseas spending.
The Member Balance Transfer Credit Card offers 0% on balance transfers for 18 months (1.5% balance transfer fee in the first 90 days).
Alternatively, there’s the Member All Rounder Offer which can get you 0% on purchases and balance transfers (1.5% fee for the first 90 days) for 15 months.
Representative example: if you borrowed £1,200 for one year, at a purchase rate of 19.9% (variable), both deals would cost a representative 19.9% APR (variable). Credit available subject to status and terms apply.
However, in order to take out a Nationwide credit card, you will need to be a Nationwide current account holder, mortgage customer, or have a Nationwide savings account.

How we calculate Nationwide’s customer score and ratings
We pick those to feature in Which? reviews based on the most popular credit card brands searched for online.
Customer scores are based on an online survey of the public conducted in May 2021, which received 4,011 responses. Participants could provide answers on up to two credit cards.
This year’s customer score analysis is based on a sample size of 5,744 credit card experiences in total and represents overall satisfaction as well as the likelihood to recommend the provider to a friend.
Star ratings for each category are calculated independently of the customer score.
We carry out these surveys annually and update our review pages accordingly. Providers must receive a minimum sample size of 50 respondents to be included in our customer satisfaction tables.
