Nationwide Building Society has officially unveiled its 2026 Fairer Share payment scheme, providing a £100 boost to eligible customers. The payment is scheduled to be deposited into accounts in June, with approximately 4.4 million customers set to benefit.
This initiative follows Nationwide's announcement of £2 billion in profits for the year ending March 31, 2026.
Nationwide Fairer Share Eligibility Explained
To qualify for the £100 payment, customers must meet specific criteria depending on the type of current account they hold. The fundamental requirement is that the account must have been opened on or before March 31, 2026, and used during the first three months of 2026 (January, February, March).
FlexAccount, FlexBasic, or FlexDirect Account Holders
Customers with these accounts can meet the eligibility criteria in one of three ways:
- Paid in at least £500 from a non-Nationwide account and made two payments out in at least two of the first three months of 2026.
- Made more than 10 payments out of the account in at least two of the first three months of 2026.
- Completed a full current account switch from another provider to Nationwide between January 1 and March 31, 2026.
FlexOne, FlexGraduate, or FlexStudent Account Holders
For these accounts, eligibility can be achieved by:
- Making a payment in from a non-Nationwide account or a payment out of the account in March 2026.
- Completing a full current account switch to Nationwide FlexOne or FlexStudent (not FlexGraduate) between January 1 and March 31, 2026.
FlexPlus Packaged Account Holders
Customers with a FlexPlus account simply need to pay the monthly fee to be eligible.
Additional Requirements for All Account Types
In addition to the account-specific criteria, customers must also meet one of the following conditions:
- Have at least £100 in savings with Nationwide at the end of any day in March 2026.
- Owe at least £100 on a Nationwide mortgage as of March 31, 2026.
