Overview
- Nationwide has not confirmed a 2026 Fairer Share payout, saying any payment is discretionary and dependent on financial performance.
- Reporters and consumer experts advise customers to position themselves now by holding an active Nationwide current account plus either savings or a mortgage, based on past eligibility rules.
- Guidance drawn from recent years urges members to keep at least £100 in a Nationwide savings account or have £100 remaining on a Nationwide mortgage on a day in March.
- Prior activity tests for certain current accounts included receiving £500 and making two payments in a month, or making at least 10 payments in two of the three months, with transfers from other Nationwide accounts not counting.
- Last year Nationwide paid about £400 million to around 4 million members, with announcements typically made in May and payments landing in June.
