UK: What to know about Nationwide’s £100 free cash payout

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.

Senate postpones Security Summit following NAF crash

The Nigerian Senate has postponed its two-day National Security Summit scheduled for October 12 and 13, 2026, following the fatal Nigerian Air Force aircraft crash in Igbokoda, Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State.   The summit has been deferred indefinitely in honour of the victims of the crash, which occurred on Monday and involved a Nigerian Air Force ATR-42 aircraft. In a statement on Tuesday, Senate Leader and Chairman of the Ad-hoc Committee on the National Security Summit, Opeyemi Bamidele, said preparations for the summit had been completed following the conclusion of zonal public hearings. He said the crash and the subsequent declaration of national mourning by President Bola Tinubu necessitated the postponement. President Tinubu declared three days of national mourning in honour of the victims and directed that Nigerian flags be flown at half-mast nationwide. “With the declaration of national mourning, the Senate resolved that the national security summit should be deferred till further notice in honour of the victims of the crash,” Bamidele said. The Senate also expressed condolences to President Tinubu, the Nigerian Armed Forces, particularly the Nigerian Air Force, and the families of the officers and crew members who died in the crash. It said a new date for the security summit would be announced in due course, while appealing to stakeholders to bear with the Senate during the period of national mourning. The aircraft crashed near a naval base in Igbokoda. The ATR-42 is a twin-engine turboprop aircraft capable of carrying between 30 and 50 passengers. President Tinubu has directed the Nigerian Air Force to immediately commence a thorough investigation into the cause of the crash, with the aim of preventing similar incidents in the future.
