Nationwide announces £100 payments for millions
Nationwide has announced millions of customers will receive another round of £100 payments. The bonus cash is being distributed to over four million people through its Fairer Share scheme, which sees the building society share its profits with customers.
The money will be paid directly into your Nationwide current account between June 18 and July 4. In order to get the payment, you need to have a qualifying current account, plus a savings account or mortgage with Nationwide.
Your current account must have been opened on or before March 31, 2025. For savings accounts, you must have had at least £100 saved at the end of any day in March 2025.
If you have a mortgage, you must have had at least £100 left to pay off on March 31, 2025. Nationwide will contact you by email or letter by May 30.

It marks the third round of Fairer Share payments from Nationwide. Last year, a total of £385million was paid out to 3.85 million customers after the building society announced profits of £2billion. In 2023, Nationwide distributed £340million to 3.4 million eligible members.
Debbie Crosbie, Nationwide's Chief Executive, said: 'Nationwide has had an outstanding twelve months. We returned a record £2.8billion 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.'
It comes after Nationwide sent a separate £50 thank you bonus to its customers earlier this year following its takeover of Virgin Money. A total of £600million was dished out to over 12 million members.

Millions of Nationwide customers to receive £100 free cash from TODAY – will you get it?
CUSTOMERS of a UK banking giant are set to receive a free £100 payment from today - and you could be eligible to claim the cash. Loyal customers who've saved or borrowed with the beloved building society are set to be given payouts through a rewards scheme just for them. 2 Eligible banking customers can get £100 for free Credit: Alamy 2 Nationwide Building Society has run the payment scheme for three years in a row Credit: Getty This Fairer Share scheme has been run by the building society in previous years. And this year the payments will go into effect on Wednesday, June 18 - meaning today is the day those eligible are set to get the free money. Nationwide confirmed the payments would be made through Friday, July 4. While around four million Nationwide customers will benefit from the scheme, not everyone is eligible. To qualify, customers will need to have opened a current account with Nationwide on or before March 31, 2025. They must also have at least £100 in savings, or have owed £100 or more on a mortgage by that same March deadline. Customers also need to have used their account between January 1 and March 31 this year. A total of about £410 million is estimated to be paid out. And if you missed out on this year's deadline, you may be eligable for the free cash next year as the building society has run the Fairer Share scheme three years in a row. However, there is no guarantee Nationwide will run the scheme again. Popular bank with over 400 spots confirms it is shutting 18 branches in August – it follows 148 closures by rivals In 2024, Nationwide paid out £385 million to 3.85 million people as part of the scheme. The bank also recently offered exclusive access to a top savings account rate for its customers. What other banking perks can you get? Existing customers with Nationwide can also get a free £200 bonus if they switch a non-Nationwide current account into a new or existing FlexDirect account. You'll also get 5% interest on current account balances up to £1,500 for a year. Meanwhile Santander is giving out £180 free cash to those who switch to its Edge account. Plus there's a linked savings account that pays 6% interest on up to £4,000 for the first year. Where to find the best savings rates Many savings accounts offer miserly rates meaning that money is generating little or no return. However, there are ways to get your cash working hard. Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to make sure you money is getting the best interest rate. Easy access savings accounts offer flexibility for customers, meaning they can dip in and out of cash when needed. However, the caveat is that rates can change at any time. If you're keeping your money in an easy access account, you'll need to keep checking whether it's the best paying account for your circumstances and move if not. Check in at least once a month to see what is happening in the market. Check what is offered by your bank - sometimes the best rates are for customers only. But do search the wider market as often top savings accounts are offered by lesser known providers. Comparison sites are a good place to check for the top rates. Try or Moneysupermarket. You can search by different account type. You'll usually get a better interest rate if you can lock your money away for a fixed amount of time, but it's always a good idea to keep some money in an easy access account in case of emergencies. Don't overlook regular savings accounts often pay some of the best rates, but you'll need to commit to monthly payments. This can be a great way to get into a savings habit while earning top rates at the same time. First Direct is giving away £175 to people who switch to its 1st Account. You just need to open an account and set up at least two direct debits or standing orders within 45 days. You will also need to pay in £1,000 and make five debit card payments within the same timeframe. TSB is handing out £100 cash but £15 a month in cashback for six months to those who switch to its Spend and Save account. Plus, you can get either £120 credit towards a hotel booking via Expedia's Travel Credits website or 12 months of activity tickets with the National Activities Network.
