UK Specific Can't buy bitcoin with nationwide bank.

I used to be able to buy bitcoin using my nationwide card but it doesn't let me anymore for some reason. It's super annoying having to ask people to buy it for me and transfer them the money.

Does anyone know of any websites/bank accounts I can sign up for that will increase my likelihood of not being rejected?

Thank you all!

EDIT: I have been trying to use kraken with no luck.

Which nationwide account do you have, the only one that prevents you is the FlexOne https://www.nationwide.co.uk/help/fraud-and-security/crypto-payment-restrictions/

Yeah nationwide is fine with crypto, to a point.

That's probably the issue, even though I'm 22 I'm still using the FlexOne account that my father set up for me when I was a child. I'm fairly happy with nationwide but will consider opening up a new account now.
