Applying for a FlexDirect account is quick & easy

If you're upgrading from FlexAccount to FlexDirect, the travel insurance and promotional offers that come with your FlexAccount will stop when you upgrade to FlexDirect. The way your overdraft is charged will also change. Please make sure you understand these important points before you upgrade.

Important: If you're applying for a new account and want to switch to us at the same time, please consider postage times, holidays etc. when choosing the date you want your switch to complete on, especially if you also want your old account closed once your new account is open. If you ask us to close your old account your existing card will be cancelled on the completion date and you’ll need to use your new Nationwide card from that date onwards.
