The Nationwide Fairer Share Payment Explained
The Fairer Share Payment is Nationwide’s sincere way of rewarding members by sharing profits. In 2024, over 4 million members received £100 in payment, and the fever of the possible payout in 2025 is growing by the day.
Ultimately, this initiative is more than merely giving members their loyalty bonus; it is more a thank you stroke of goodwill for having remained with Nationwide throughout their financial needs, for it is one thing that makes them a members’ building society: putting the members first.
Will There Be Another £100 Payment in 2025?
A hopeful customer recently reached out to Nationwide on social media to ask this very question. In response, Nationwide said:
“Nationwide’s board will decide on a Fairer Share payment for 2025 and it will depend on our financial performance. The decision and eligibility details will be announced as part of our full-year results at the end of May.”
A spokesperson later confirmed:
“The announcement will be made on May 29, 2025.”
So if you’re wondering “Will I get £100 from Nationwide this year?”—you’re not alone. Millions are waiting with anticipation for this decision.
Who Qualified for the Payment Last Year?
In 2024, members with any of the following were eligible:
- A Nationwide current account
- A savings account
- A residential mortgage with Nationwide
Along with these, you had to meet one of these criteria between September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2024:
- Made at least one qualifying transaction on your account
- Had at least £100 in total savings across eligible Nationwide accounts
- Owed at least £100 on a Nationwide residential mortgage
Most importantly, you needed to have been a Nationwide member on September 30, 2024, and still a member when payments were issued.
£50 Loyalty Bonus Already Paid
Earlier this year, Nationwide delighted over 12 million customers with a £50 bonus, sent as a direct deposit or cheque. This heartfelt gift was in recognition of their loyalty, especially after the Virgin Money acquisition.
Many customers have asked if the cheque can be paid into non-Nationwide accounts. The answer?
When Will the 2025 £100 Payment Be Announced?
Nationwide has officially stated that the decision on the 2025 Fairer Share Payment will be made public on May 29, 2025. So mark your calendars and keep an eye on your email and Nationwide’s official channels.
