Nationwide customers have just hours to claim free £175 - how to get it before deadline
If you're planning to switch to Nationwide to claim the £175 cash reward, you'll need to act fast as time is running out.
The UK's largest building society has announced that the current account offer will be discontinued on March 31, so if you want to get your hands on the free money, you'll need to move quickly.
The incentive was first introduced on September 25, 2024, with the aim of encouraging customers to switch their current accounts from other banks to Nationwide. Nationwide had always stated that the reward would not be a permanent feature, and reiterated in December that it was only available for a 'limited time'.

With just four days left to make the switch, here's everything you need to know before the end-of-month deadline.
To qualify for Nationwide's £175 cash reward, you must switch from a non-Nationwide bank account with at least two active direct debits.
Your non-Nationwide account will be closed when you switch – Nationwide can handle this for you if you choose that option when requesting the switch. According to the terms, you'll need to deposit £1,000 into the account within 31 days of requesting the switch – transfers from other Nationwide accounts or Visa credits are not included – and make at least one purchase using your debit card.
Certain transactions, such as gambling, are not included in this offer, so it's important to do your research.
To qualify for the £175 cash offer, the switch must be completed within 28 days.
Nationwide stated: 'You can get £175 by switching to a FlexPlus, FlexDirect or FlexAccount. If you already have one of these bank accounts, you can still switch over your non-Nationwide bank account and get £175 if you log in to our internet bank.
However, be aware that switching to a FlexPlus Nationwide account will incur an £18 monthly fee, while FlexDirect and FlexAccount are both free.

Non-Doms Are Trying to Sell London Homes, But No One Wants Them
The number of London homes for sale at £5 million ($6.8 million) or more rose to the highest on record last month, as the nation contends with the departure of wealthy foreigners looking to escape tax hikes. There was a 22% year-on-year jump in these homes on the market at the end of May, according to data from researcher LonRes. However, there were 15% fewer deals compared with the same month last year, hinting that the UK's decision to abolish tax breaks for non-domiciled residents has weakened demand.

Follow us on LinkedIn. The Goldman Sachs Future Consumer Equity ETF (the 'Fund') seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund. The Fund pursues its investment objective by primarily investing in U.S. and non-U.S. companies that the Investment Adviser believes are aligned with key themes associated with the different and evolving priorities and spending habits of younger consumers. The Fund's investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors, governments or countries and/or general economic conditions in the U.S. or throughout the world. Stock markets have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the past and may do so again in the future. The Fund's thematic investment strategy limits the universe of investment opportunities available to the Fund and may affect the Fund's performance relative to similar funds that do not seek to invest in companies exposed to such themes. The Fund relies on the Investment Adviser for the identification of companies the Investment Adviser believes are aligned with key themes associated with the different and evolving priorities and spending habits of younger consumers, and there is no guarantee that the Investment Adviser's views will reflect the beliefs or values of any particular investor or that companies in which the Fund invests will be successful in their efforts to align with the different and evolving priorities and spending habits of younger consumers. Different investment styles (e.g., 'growth', 'value' or 'quantitative') tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes but employ different investment styles. Because the Fund concentrates its investments in certain specific industries, the Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments affecting those industries than if its investments were more diversified across different industries. Foreign and emerging markets investments may be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and adverse economic, social or political developments, including regional armed conflicts, sanctions, tariffs, counter-sanctions, retaliatory tariffs and other retaliatory actions. Such securities are also subject to foreign custody risk. The securities of mid- and small-cap companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements. The Fund is ' non-diversified ' and may invest a larger percentage of its assets in one or more issuers or in fewer issuers than 'diversified' funds. Accordingly, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio and to greater losses resulting from these developments. Because the Fund may invest in a relatively small number of issuers, the Fund is subject to greater risk of loss.

Shares otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading at market price (not NAV). Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.
