Nationwide Changes Some Account Rates This Week

The old rates are no longer available. Richard Stocker said: "We're happy to introduce new higher rates for our ISAs and Bonds." Customers can get these rates in branches, by phone, or online. They can also use a budgeting tool in the app to manage their money.
Nationwide increased its rates before the end of the tax year to attract savers looking for the best deals.
Nationwide now has the best three and five-year cash ISA rates at 4.5%. Its one-year ISA rate is 4.35%, higher than many competitors. However, HSBC offers 4.5% but only to its current account holders.
Nationwide's two-year cash ISA rate is 4.4%, higher than most competitors, but Furness Building offers 4.5%.
Anna Bowes said the new rates are "very competitive".
She said it's great to see a well-known provider with competitive rates, as savers prefer familiar brands with good rates.
A big change to ISAs is coming in the 2027 tax year. The £20,000 allowance will be reduced to £12,000 for some ISAs.
The remaining £8,000 must be used for investment-based ISAs.
Nationwide has created access guides for over 500 branches, with more to come. They partnered with AccessAble to help people with disabilities plan their visits.
The guides show features like step-free entry and British Sign Language interpreters. Nationwide will keep all 605 branches open until at least 2030.
Dr Gregory Burke said clear accessibility information is a basic right, helping disabled people plan and be independent.
