Nationwide Gives 4 Million People a One-Time Payment

Nationwide customers are being asked to check their apps because four million people will get a one-off payment.
Between June 10 and 30, 2026, eligible members will get £100 in their bank account. You must have been a Nationwide member with a qualifying account. The bank's website has more details.
If you bank with Nationwide, check your app to see if you qualified for the payment.
Many people on social media are praising Nationwide for the payment. For some, this is their fourth Fairer Share payment.
One customer, Grace, was happy to get the payment because she had very little money before.
Others are joking about how they will spend the money. One person said Nationwide will pay for their takeaway.
Another customer was happy but then had to give the money to their mum for rent.
A customer said Nationwide has their loyalty forever.
A customer praised Nationwide and said they love getting the free money.
A customer thanked Nationwide and said they wouldn't bank with anyone else.
Not everyone was happy because some people didn't move money to a Nationwide account to qualify.
One customer was disappointed because they didn't get the payment despite banking with Nationwide for years.
Nationwide gives the Fairer Share payment because it is owned by its members.
Instead of paying investors, Nationwide shares its profits with eligible customers.
The Fairer Share scheme rewards customer loyalty but depends on the society's financial performance.
The payment is not guaranteed every year but is a benefit when the society is doing well.
