Millions of Nationwide Building Society customers in the UK are about to receive £100 in free cash. This is part of the building society’s Fairer Share programme, which rewards loyal customers who meet specific banking or lending criteria.

An estimated four million members will benefit from the £410 million payout.

The £100 payment will be made directly into qualifying customers’ Nationwide current accounts between June 18 and July 4, 2025.

To be eligible, you must have opened a main current account with Nationwide by March 31, 2025. You also needed to have either £100 in savings or £100 outstanding on a mortgage by that date.

In addition, you must have used your account during the first three months of the year.

Debbie Crosbie, Chief Executive of Nationwide, said:

“Nationwide has had an outstanding twelve months. We returned a record £2.8 billion in value to our members and recorded our highest ever year for growth in mortgage lending and retail deposit balances, and we remain first for customer service.”

This is the third consecutive year that Nationwide has made such a payment. In 2024, £385 million was shared among 3.85 million customers. In 2023, £340 million was paid to 3.4 million people.

This year’s £100 payout is separate from the £50 that was issued to around 12 million members between April 9 and May 14, 2025.

If you’re not a Nationwide customer, you won’t receive this payment. However, you can still open an account to be eligible for future offers.

Nationwide has also launched a £200 switching offer for those who sign up for its new fixed-rate Member Inclusive Bond. The bond is available online, in-branch, or through the app.

For example, someone saving the full £10,000 allowance into the bond would earn £762.50 in interest over 18 months. That’s more than £150 above the return offered by Nationwide’s next highest-rate bond.

Other banks are offering similar deals. TSB is currently giving new customers £100 when they switch, along with £15 cashback each month (up to £90) for using their debit card 20 times monthly over six months.

Switching banks is easier than ever with the Current Account Switch Service (CASS), which takes just seven working days. All direct debits and payments are moved automatically, and your old bank is notified for you. You don’t need to worry about missed payments.

Before switching, take time to compare perks such as interest rates, overdraft terms, and extras like free insurance. Some accounts come with fees, so it’s important to weigh the benefits.

NECA Director-General Adewale-Smatt Oyerinde calls for accountability over ₦10.4 trillion shared with states and local governments from petrol subsidy savings.

NECA asks states to explain how ₦10.4tn subsidy funds were spent

The Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA) has urged state and local governments to publicly account for the ₦10.4 trillion they received from resources generated following the removal of the petrol subsidy.   NECA Director-General, Adewale-Smatt Oyerinde, made the call during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Thursday, following disclosures by Finance Minister and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele. Oyedele said the removal of the petrol subsidy mobilised ₦15.8 trillion for the Federation between June 2023 and December 2025. According to the minister, the Federal Government received ₦5.4 trillion, while ₦10.4 trillion was distributed to state and local governments through the Federation Account. Oyerinde said the disclosure should prompt state commissioners for finance to explain how much their governments received and how the funds were spent. > “The commissioners of finance in states, you come out and also say, this is how much we’ve received; this is how much we have spent,” he said.   The NECA chief compared the expected disclosure to financial reporting by private businesses, where companies present audited accounts to shareholders. He urged state governments to provide details of the funds received, the challenges encountered and how the money was utilised. Oyerinde also commended the Federal Government for publicly providing details of its finances, saying greater transparency would allow citizens and other stakeholders to scrutinise public spending. He encouraged Nigerians to engage state and local governments on how public resources are being used, stressing that development should begin at the grassroots. How the ₦15.8tn was accounted for Oyedele said the ₦15.8 trillion did not appear as a separate Federation Account credit labelled “subsidy savings”. Rather, it was reflected in the resources available to the three tiers of government. The minister also disclosed that the Federal Government generated ₦3.1 trillion in additional independent revenue during the period, while borrowing amounted to ₦11.9 trillion. Together, the additional revenue and borrowing increased the Federal Government’s resources by ₦20.4 trillion, against incremental expenditure of ₦30.64 trillion, according to Oyedele. President Bola Tinubu announced the removal of the petrol subsidy on May 29, 2023, shortly after his inauguration. The policy led to a sharp increase in petrol prices and contributed to higher transportation, logistics and production costs. The Federal Government has maintained that the reform was necessary to reduce fiscal pressure and redirect resources towards other priorities.
