Nationwide Building Society will hand \u00a3100 payments to 4.4 million eligible customers<\/strong> in June after announcing another round of its Fairer Share scheme. The mutual confirmed the move alongside its latest annual financial results, marking the fourth consecutive year of the payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The building society said a total of \u00a3440 million<\/strong> will be distributed to qualifying members who hold a current account alongside savings or a mortgage product with Nationwide. Payments are scheduled to arrive between 10 and 30 June 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nationwide revealed the latest payout after reporting underlying annual profits of \u00a32 billion for the year ending 31 March 2026. According to Nationwide, the Fairer Share scheme has now returned more than \u00a31.5 billion to members since it began in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement comes shortly after the completion of Nationwide\u2019s takeover of Virgin Money, though customers who joined through that transfer will not qualify for this year\u2019s payment. Nationwide stated that qualifying Virgin Money <\/strong>accounts could be considered for future payments from 2027 onwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eligibility Rules Depend on Account Activity and Savings Balances<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Customers must meet several conditions to receive the \u00a3100 payment. According to Nationwide\u2019s published terms <\/a>and conditions, eligible members needed to hold a qualifying current account on 31 March 2026, alongside either qualifying savings or a qualifying mortgage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For holders of FlexAccount, FlexDirect and FlexBasic accounts, Nationwide said customers had to either pay in at least \u00a3500 <\/strong>and make two outgoing payments in two of the first three months of 2026, or make at least ten outgoing payments during two of those months. Customers who switched to Nationwide <\/a>using the Current Account Switch Service between January and March also qualified automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FlexPlus customers qualified by paying the account\u2019s monthly fee, while FlexStudent, FlexGraduate and FlexOne account holders needed to either make or receive at least one payment during March 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Savings customers needed to hold at least \u00a3100 in a Nationwide savings account or cash ISA at the end of any day in March. Mortgage customers<\/strong> qualified if they owed at least \u00a3100 on a Nationwide residential mortgage by 31 March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nationwide also clarified that Virgin Money and Clydesdale accounts transferred after the acquisition do not count towards this year\u2019s criteria. The building society said those products were not held within Nationwide during the financial year covered by the scheme. Payments will appear automatically in qualifying current accounts under the reference \u201cNationwide Fairer Share Payment\u201d. Customers do not need to apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
