Switching to a new current account

It's easy to switch your existing Direct Debits and standing orders to your new Nationwide current account, just have your existing current account details to hand when you apply. We'll ask you for the details in the form and also when you want us to start switching your account. Once you've applied, we'll take care of everything and update you on how it's all going.
