Verdict: With a diverse range of bonds from six months to two years, Nationwide has tried to cater for the short and long-term investor. The rates, especially the fixed rate bond of up to 5.00 per cent, are competitive, but not market leading. But being available online will deter those investors who are not computer savvy and those who do not wish to open another account with a different provider.
