Banking Without Borders
Banking Without Borders is a podcast about modern money — from digital banks and cashback cards to savings, credit cards, FX, global accounts, and the financial products reshaping how people manage money in the UK and beyond.
We focus less on hype and more on what actually matters: who a product is for, how it makes money, where the trade-offs are, and whether it’s genuinely worth using.
If you want clear thinking, real-world context, and fewer buzzwords and less BS when it comes to banking, cards, and personal finance, this is the podcast.

Nationwide vs Chase UK: Which Is the Better Bank in 2026?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we put Nationwide Building Society head-to-head with Chase UK to see which one really makes sense in 2026.
We cover:
- Why Nationwide was missing from our last “best bank” episode
- Cashback, savings rates & switch incentives
- App experience vs branch access
- Joint accounts, overdrafts & everyday banking features
- Travel fees, FX rates & overseas spending
- Ethical banking & where your money actually sits
- Customer support: phone vs in-app response times
- Why the “best” bank depends on how you use it
As always, this isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer — it’s about choosing the right tools for your situation.
