Overview
- Nationwide will automatically credit £100 to 4.4 million qualifying members between 10 and 30 June 2026, a total payout of £440 million.
- Members qualify if they had a Nationwide current account open on 31 March 2026 and either at least £100 in Nationwide savings during March or at least £100 outstanding on a Nationwide mortgage on that date.
- The payment will appear on statements as 'Nationwide Fairer Share Payment' and will be paid only into an open Nationwide current account, so closed accounts without another open Nationwide current account will not receive the money.
- Nationwide’s April takeover of Virgin Money means Virgin customers are not eligible for the 2026 payment but could be considered for Fairer Share in 2027.
- The £100 is classed as taxable savings income though most recipients will be protected by the personal savings allowance, and Nationwide warns members to ignore scam messages asking them to claim or provide personal details.
