Cash Card Account

The Nationwide Cash Card Account is our basic current account. This is most appropriate for customers receiving state benefits or pension. To be eligible for a Nationwide Cash Card Account you must:

  • be aged 18 or over
  • not have an existing current account with Nationwide Building Society

Our Cash Card Account includes the following features:

  • A cash card+ which enables you to:
    • pay for goods and services in shops, online and over the phone
    • get cashback in certain UK stores
    • withdraw money and check your balance at UK cash machines
    • withdraw money at any Post Office® branch.
  • Facilities to pay money in and set up regular payments like standing orders and Direct Debits
  • Internet Banking and Telephone Banking facilities for managing your current account

However it does not give you:

  • a cheque book; or
  • an overdraft.

You can use your cash card+ for purchases overseas but please note that cash card+ cannot be used to withdraw cash overseas.

Counter restrictions apply to this account. For details please contact a member of the branch team.
