Nationwide complaints

Better than 32% of the 94 companies large enough to grade this period.

What people complain about Nationwide for
Reasons as recorded by the regulator on complaints it confirmed. A complaint is "confirmed" when the department found the company was at fault — not merely that someone was unhappy.
Nationwide state by state
Insurance is regulated state by state, and a company's record can differ sharply between them. Each grade below is relative to that state's own market.
How to file a complaint against Nationwide
Complaints are filed with your state department of insurance, not with us and not with the company. It is free, it is handled by a regulator with authority over the insurer's licence, and a complaint the department confirms is exactly what produces the numbers on this page next year.
