Go on, break up this Valentine's Day - it's the anti-Valentine's Day

One in ten (15%) people have broken up with a loved one around Valentine's Day, according to new research by Nationwide Building Society.

But the Society says "breaking up is not always a bad thing."

"It all depends on the relationship and what you want to get out of it. If your relationship is not working, then change is not always a bad thing. For example, this Valentine's Day we are encouraging those who have been let down by their bank or have a bad financial services relationship, to make the split and switch their current account to us, as we are a building society we do not have shareholders to satisfy we can focus on our customers.
 
"In the same way you wouldn't put up with a bad personal relationship, don't put up with a financial relationship which is not working. Make a stand and say "it's not me, it's you" if your bank is failing to deliver!" says Michelle Slade at Nationwide.
 
Consumers are already making the switch to Nationwide, with over 100,000 people ditching their financial provider and moving their current accounts to Nationwide last year.
