The payment goes to members who bank with Nationwide regularly.
Those who have a savings account or mortgage product could also qualify.
Customers can expect the cash to land in their accounts between June 18 and July 4.
And there is a code that customers should look out for on their bank statements to ensure they have received the cash - it is Nationwide Fairer Share Payment.
But you must have opened a main current account with Nationwide by March 31 to get your hands on the money.
You would have needed to have £100 in savings or owe £100 on your mortgage by that date.
You also will need to have used your account within the first three months of this year.
This is the third year that Nationwide has given away free cash to customers.
Last year, it paid out a total of £385million to 3.85million customers and the year before £340million to 3.4million people.
Back in December, the building society's boss confirmed it would make the payment for a third time.
Major bank paying out £100 to customers
It's worth noting, the £100 Fairer Share payment is separate to the £50 issued to around 12million Nationwide customers between April 9 and May 14.
Recently the bank has also launched a new £200 switching offer to treat customers who sign up for its new bond.
Nationwide's member inclusive bond is available to sign up to for all 16 million existing members and can be opened in branch, online or via the Banking App.
This is a fixed-rate savings bond available only to Nationwide members.
BANKING FREEBIES
Nationwide is not the only bank giving customers free cash.
TSB is giving new customers who switch to the high street bank a £100 switching incentive.
You get the £100 upfront but if you spend on your debit card for 20 times in the first six months you get a £15 a month cashback.
Santander has launched a new switching incentive to lure in customers.
As part of the deal, customers will receive £180 within 90 days of making the switch.
Cusomers need to pay £1,500 into the account within 60 days. This does not have to be deposited all at once.
Customers must also set up two active household direct debits on the new account.
This can include your council tax, mobile phone, home phone, broadband, paid-for TV packages, water, gas and electricity bills.
Co-op Bank is also paying £175 to new customers.

Rachel Reeves' tax grab on grieving families will cost households £82,000
Read on to find out how the change will affect you Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A TYPICAL homeowner will now be forced to hand over £82,000 to the taxman thanks to Rachel Reeves' inheritance tax raid, new analysis reveals. A working-age single homeowner who lives in an average-priced home in England (£290,395) with a moderate pension pot of £415,000 would be hit with an inheritance tax bill of £82,158. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Changes to inheritance tax will cost a typical homeowner £82,000 Credit: Getty This eye-watering sum comes as a result of changes made in the October Budget. In her speech, the Chancellor announced that pension pots will no longer be exempt from inheritance tax from April 2027, which means they will be subject to a levy of up to 40%. The change is expected to increase the number of estates paying death duties from 4% to 9.7%, dragging thousands of people into the tax net. The news comes after Labour confirmed it will charge inheritance tax on workers' retirement pots even if they die before they reach the state pension age. Read more on inheritance tax DEATH TAX Rachel Reeves eyes up tax changes - what you can do NOW to protect your finances Meanwhile, the Chancellor is also considering plans to stop families from making unlimited tax-free gifts to their children under plans to tighten inheritance tax rules. The changes will make it harder for workers to pass on cash to their loved ones tax-free. Inheritance tax is charged on all assets above the £325,000 threshold, which is called the nil-rate band. Anything above this threshold is charged at 40%. The allowance rises by £175,000 if you leave your home to a direct descendant, such as a son, daughter or grandchild. But house prices are expected to rise in the coming years, which means more homes will be affected by the time the rules come into effect. House prices are expected to increase by around 2.8% in 2025 and 2.5% on average from that point onwards, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility. Meanwhile, a single pensioner needs a pension pot worth £415,000 in order to enjoy a 'moderate' standard of living in retirement, according to Pensions UK. At the moment pensions can be inherited tax-free if the person who passed away is under the age of 75, as long as their total pot is worth less than £1.07million. Families whose relative passed away when they were 75 or older need to pay income tax on any money they inherit from a pension. The rule change announced in the Budget will mean the death duty of up to 40% will be applied to unspent private pension pots. It is estimated that the change will raise around £1.5billion a year by 2029/30. Some couples will be far more exposed to the tax raid than others. Couples who live together and have young children but are not married will not benefit from tax exemptions for spouses or those in civil partnerships. Among them is an exemption which allows married couples to transfer their estate to their spouse without paying any tax. Meanwhile, they will not be able to use the transferable nil-rate band, which allows couples to combine their tax-free allowances across both of their estates. Jon Greer, head of retirement policy at Quilter, said: 'A grieving family with young children and an average priced home could face six-figure IHT bills at the most distressing time. 'Married couples are protected by exemptions and allowances; cohabitees aren't.' He added that, without phasing in the change gradually, the policy risks causing a financial hit that can destabilise a family's future despite raking in very little additional revenue.

Homeowners can earn £100s a month from their driveway in the easiest sidehustle – how you can too
It isn't just sporting events either, as some of the highest earners this year so far are music events EASY MONEY Homeowners can earn £100s a month from their driveway in the easiest sidehustle – how you can too Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HOMEOWNERS could make easy money ahead of the new Premier League season - simply by having a driveway they're not using. A team of experts has analysed postcodes near the nation's major stadiums to determine where householders could earn the most money by renting out their driveways to fans. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 The start of the Premier League season could be lucrative for those with an empty driveway to hand Credit: Getty 3 Homeowners living in a host of locations could earn some serious money with their driveway Credit: Getty 3 Postcodes in London, Leeds Glasgow and Cardiff could be quids in According to Leasing Options, residents living near Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (N17) enjoy the highest earning potential, with an average daily income of £22.25 throughout the year. Other lucrative areas include postcodes near Leeds' Elland Road Stadium, where homeowners can make £22 a day, and Chelsea's Stamford Bridge in London, offering £21.50 per day. For those living near Wembley Stadium, the country's iconic football venue that hosts the England National Team, cup finals and events like the recent Community Shield, the earning potential is similar at £21 per day. Likewise, residents near Scotland's Hampden Park and Wales' Cardiff City Stadium can expect to earn around £21 a day. Further down the rankings, homeowners in Liverpool living near Anfield and Everton Stadium can still earn a respectable £13 per day, with prices often more than tripling on matchdays or during special events. With the Premier League season kicking off this weekend, renting out an unused driveway could be one of the simplest and most effective sidehustles for homeowners looking to make some extra cash. It isn't just sporting events either, as some of the highest earners this year so far are music events - including high-profile concerts and festivals. These events often result in single-day earnings that surpass what would typically be made in a week - making them a particularly lucrative option for those living nearby. At the top of the list is Oasis at Heaton Park in Manchester, where driveway rentals can fetch an average of £165.67 per day during the event. Following closely is Beyonce's tour stop at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, with homeowners earning an average of £150.26 per day during her shows. Shocking moment 'rude' dad parks car on STRANGER'S driveway to avoid school run chaos - before furious mum confronts him Similarly, the Wimbledon Championships in London provide an average earning potential of £101.08 per day for residents near the All England Tennis Club. Other notable events include Guns N' Roses at Villa Park in Birmingham, where locals can earn £97.40 daily, and Sabrina Carpenter's concert at Hyde Park in London, which offers average earnings of £94.92. Stadiums that can provide income opportunities year-round Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London): £22.25/day Elland Road (Leeds): £22.00/day Stamford Bridge (London): £21.50/day Wembley Stadium (London): £21.00/day Hampden Park (Glasgow): £21.00/day Cardiff City Stadium (Cardiff): £21.00/day OVO Arena Wembley (London): £21.00/day Marshall Arena (Milton Keynes): £15.00/day Anfield (Liverpool): £13.00/day Everton Stadium (Liverpool): £13.00/day Leasing Options analysed data from JustPark to identify the UK's most profitable areas for driveway rentals. The study focused on over 25 major cities and key 2025 events, mapping more than 750 postcode districts using public data. Commercial listings were excluded, location accuracy was verified and districts with insufficient data were removed, leaving over 550 reliable areas. Median weekday and weekend rates were averaged to calculate daily earning potential, while event-day prices were separately assessed for major fixtures. Commenting on the data, Mike Thompson, Chief Executive Officer at Leasing Options, said: 'With demand for event parking soaring across the UK, it's clear that homeowners have a real opportunity to turn their unused driveways into a valuable source of extra income. 'Our data shows that locations near major stadiums like Tottenham Hotspur, Elland Road and Wembley consistently attract high rental prices. 'During big-name events, these figures can more than triple. "It's a smart, low-effort way for people to benefit from the buzz around them, especially in areas where parking is at a premium. 'As we look ahead to a packed 2025 event calendar, the potential for driveway rentals is only set to grow." How to rent out your driveway For those interested in turning their unused driveway into a steady source of income, there are a handful of steps you can follow. Check Eligibility - Review your mortgage or lease agreement to ensure renting out your driveway is allowed, and also check with your local council to confirm you don't need planning permission. Choose a Platform - Platforms like JustPark, YourParkingSpace and ParkOnMyDrive make it easy to list your driveway. You can sign up, create a profile and provide details about your parking space, such as dimensions, location and availability. Set Your Price - Research current rates in your area using the platform's tools or by browsing other listings. You can even adjust the price for special events or peak times to maximise earnings. Add Photos and a Description - Make sure upload clear photos of your driveway and write a good description, highlighting features such as proximity to venues, security and ease of access. Manage Bookings - Set your availability for weekdays, weekends or specific dates. Also use the platform's booking system to approve requests and communicate with renters. Ensure Insurance - Consider public liability insurance to cover accidents or damages while someone is using your driveway. Track Your Income - You must keep records of your earnings and remember that if they exceed £1,000 annually, you'll need to declare them to HMRC under the Property Income Allowance. This comes as Sun Motors recently looked at the family motors that lose the least value over time - with a luxury compact SUV taking the top spot. New data from the analysis of 40 million UK car sales over a typical three-year ownership period highlights which family models hold their value best. Experts from Carmoola have recently released their new Car Depreciation Index, developed with vehicle data specialists Brego, which ranks the top-performing family cars for resale value. They found that the Porsche Macan is the slowest-depreciating family car sold in the UK - losing just 19.9% of its value over three years. The Macan is particularly popular in the UK due to its blend of sporty performance, SUV practicality and the prestige of the Porsche badge. It's championed for being agile and powerful, with a well-tuned suspension that makes it enjoyable to drive on various UK roads, from city streets to country lanes.

Self-driving cars are coming to UK in 2026 & serious concerns remain – but there's also 5 incredible benefits
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN EXPERT has opened up on the challenges the UK faces as it approaches the adoption of self-driving technology. Recently, mega-brand Tesla revealed footage of two major test runs of one of its cars negotiating central London and Swindon's Magic Roundabout - without human intervention. 4 Car giant Tesla has been trying out its self-driving tech in the UK Credit: Tesla Europe 4 The firm is already operating its autonomous vehicles in the US Credit: Getty 4 Brands such as Tesla need to do a lot of work in addressing public mistrust, says an expert Credit: Getty 4 However, in the long run, the tech could have several benefits Credit: Getty The clips showed a Tesla Model 3 navigating past iconic locations in central London, as well as Swindon's Magic Roundabout - a complex system of five mini-roundabouts arranged in a circle around a larger central one - while the person in the driver's seat was not holding the steering wheel. But the technology's potential and its imminent nationwide rollout - which could be by spring 2026 - have understandably sparked public concerns about safety, while also bringing up discussions on the transformative impact on the automotive industry. John Kushnick, Legal Operations Director at the National Accident Helpline, has been closely following these developments. He recently spoke to Sun Motors about how the tech could enhance safety and revolutionise transportation, although he remains cautious about its readiness for widespread adoption - citing public mistrust, regulatory hurdles and the necessity for greater transparency from manufacturers. Indeed, John emphasises that brands, such as Tesla, need to do a lot of work in addressing public mistrust. 'Everything has got to be transparent and I think that's where it has been lacking,' he said. 'If we look at Diesel-Gate as an example, if we leave it to companies, it will always be seen as in their best interest to hide any issues rather than show them in hope that they'll get away with it. 'None of us really know how self-driving cars work because they use massively complex software and AI in the background to make decisions - so we're never going to understand that. 'We have to be sure that the companies understand it and then they're going to act in our best interest.' To address the public's potential mistrust, John believes manufacturers will have their work cut out to show they're willing to be open with the public - including the way they record and display their data, especially around accidents. Watch Tesla test self-driving cars on London streets as it passes famous landmarks He also highlights the need for a comprehensive regulatory framework to manage self-driving technology, explaining how regulators like the DVSA are not yet prepared to handle the complexities of self-driving vehicles. 'They'd have to up their game,' said John. 'You need some quite high-tech solutions to this because you're going to need to be having pretty regular updates to their systems.' One particular concern is legal and regulatory barriers, such as grey areas around liability when the car transitions control back to the driver. John explains that liability depends on the mode in which the car was operating. If the vehicle is in self-driving mode during an accident, the manufacturer is liable. However, if the driver takes over control, the responsibility shifts to them. He highlights grey areas where self-driving assistance fails or where the car detects it cannot operate properly and passes control back to the driver. Quoting a report by Faction, a company focused on developing autonomous vehicle technology, he said: 'If it's in self-driving mode and it has an accident, then the liability goes on to the manufacturer. 'If the driver has taken over control, then it's going to be on them. 'The grey area will be where it's assisted and the assistant doesn't work properly. 'There's also going to be situations where a car's in self-driving mode but it then detects that it can't work properly or it doesn't understand the layout, and it passes over to the driver. 'That's where you'd have to be able to say, have they been given enough time? Has anyone else taken over? If not, then the liability goes on the driver.' Indeed, John warns that any major accidents during the rollout of self-driving cars could severely harm public perception and slow adoption. He stresses the importance of careful implementation to avoid catastrophic incidents. Another problem that John points out is the UK's older and more complicated road infrastructure, which poses significant challenges for self-driving technology. Narrow roads, potholes, and rural areas make it harder for autonomous vehicles to operate reliably, compared to places in the US like Arizona or San Francisco, where self-driving cars are currently in operation. John said: 'In Arizona, it's a classic, you're not going to see many cars passing you, they're nice straight roads and San Francisco's, with a lot of those roads built on grids. 'That does make it easier. It is much harder where you've got potholes, which can then make the vehicles react in an unpredictable way. You've got narrow roads. 'How are the rules going to go, where you really have not got quite enough space for two vehicles? Is it just going to stop and not do anything? 'You've got all sorts of more complications here, because we've got older roads, we've got narrower roads, more rural roads. 'I also think we're slower to adopt energy. Once we see self-driving cars operating successfully in certain circumstances, I think public perception will start to shift.' 5 ways self-driving cars could benefit the UK Improved road safety – self-driving cars can reduce accidents by eliminating human error – self-driving cars can reduce accidents by eliminating human error Learning and adaptation – autonomous vehicles can learn from real-world data to improve over time – autonomous vehicles can learn from real-world data to improve over time Reduced need for private car ownership – shared self-driving fleets could make transportation cheaper and more efficient – shared self-driving fleets could make transportation cheaper and more efficient Fewer parked cars and less congestion – streets could be freed up, opening urban spaces for other uses – streets could be freed up, opening urban spaces for other uses Lower insurance costs – fewer accidents could result in reduced premiums for individuals FIRST STEP John, though, also believes self-driving tech could significantly reduce accidents by eliminating human error. He also believes that autonomous vehicles can learn from real-world data and improve their performance over time, making roads safer. "The good thing about this sort of technology is that you've got the ability to learn over time, and for that learning to stick,' John added. 'You can use technology to learn what happens in different circumstances and it can then help avoid accidents." John suggests that self-driving technology could eliminate specific types of accidents - such as distracted or impaired driving. "We have to see if on balance it is safer to have these vehicles, because it may actually mean we can reduce accidents,' he said. He also envisions a future where self-driving cars make transport more efficient and reduce the need for private car ownership. He predicts fewer cars parked on streets, as autonomous vehicles can operate as shared fleets, constantly in use and available on demand, with the shift able to open up urban spaces, reduce congestion and lower costs for individuals. He said: "Imagine a world without streets lined with parked cars. Once this really takes off, you won't need to own a vehicle - it'll be so much cheaper." Furthermore, with self-driving cars becoming more prevalent, insurance costs could decrease - since automated systems are likely to result in fewer accidents. Additionally, shared self-driving taxis could be cheaper than owning and maintaining a personal vehicle. John added: "For the sake of argument, if you're using an automated mode three-quarters of the time, you're actually driving less, so in theory the price should come down." What's clear is that self-driving technology offers the promise of safer roads, reduced congestion and transformative changes to transportation, although significant challenges remain. As John emphasises, "it's all about that first step. If you don't take it, you'll never get there."
