Customers who use the Nationwide Building Society's FlexAccount as their main current account can now avail of a range of discounts and promotions including low-rate personal loans, home insurance, credit cards and car insurance.

Attractive mortgage rates are also on offer to FlexAccount holders, with a three-month interest-free overdraft available to individuals who switch their existing current account to Nationwide at the same time they open a FlexAccount.

Representatives for the building society have pointed out that Nationwide's Internet Bank Promise provides the further reassurance of safe and secure online banking.

Chris Rhodes, the mutual's product and marketing executive director, comments: "Whether it's taking advantage of the 90% loan-to-value mortgage to give first-time buyers a helping hand, or competitive car and home insurance premiums, all our customers can continue to enjoy the award-winning Nationwide FlexAccount with some added extras."

Nationwide personal loans taken out via branches, phone or internet offer a typical APR of 7.9% - for anything from £7,500 to £14,999 - for existing main FlexAccount debit card customers.

Eligible customers can also take advantage of discounts off home and car insurance, as well as 0% on purchases and balance transfers and commission-free purchases with the standard Nationwide credit card.
