Nationwide Urges Members To Meet March 31 Check for Potential £100 ‘Fairer Share’ Payout

Any 2026 payment remains discretionary based on the building society’s financial performance.

Overview

  • Nationwide is asking customers to ensure they meet eligibility by March 31, when it checks who could receive this year’s profit‑sharing payment.
  • Last year’s rules required a qualifying current account plus either qualifying savings or a qualifying mortgage, with at least £100 held in savings at the time of the check.
  • Some guidance suggests topping up savings to £100 and using an inactive Nationwide current account for everyday spending could help meet previous criteria.
  • Nationwide confirms some members have already received £300 across 2023, 2024 and 2025 through £100 payments each year.
  • Payments have typically been announced in May and paid in June, and if the scheme continues this year some customers could reach £400 in total, though MoneySavingExpert notes this is likely but not guaranteed.
