Overview
- Nationwide said Friday it will decide on any 2026 Fairer Share payment after its financial year end, with the outcome to be announced alongside its May full-year results.
- The £100 Fairer Share has been paid three summers in a row, reaching more than four million members last year and usually landing in June.
- Past eligibility required a Nationwide current account plus either a savings account or a mortgage, and payments arrived automatically for those who qualified.
- Moneyfacts expert Rachel Springall noted last year’s rules included account activity between January and March, so opening an account now may not secure a payout if similar terms return.
- Switching is surging, with 319,000 moves in the first three months of 2026 and Nationwide leading recent net gains, while its £175 switching offer ended in March and further bank incentives are expected.
