e-Bond- how to open an account
Click the link below that best describes you:
-
- Before you can open an e-Bond you will need to open a FlexAccount (Nationwide's current account) so that you can invest money into your e-Bond.
-
It's easy to open an e-Bond account with Nationwide if you're already an Internet Banking user:
- Log on to the Internet Bank and go to your FlexAccount online statement
- Click the 'Activate e-Bond' button on the left, tell us how much you'd like to transfer and confirm you're a UK resident
- Then just click the 'ACTIVATE' button
The account may take up to 5 days to show on the Internet Banking system, although your savings will start to earn interest from the day of the deposit.
-
- To be able to activate an e-Bond account, first you need to register for our Internet Banking service
- Complete the online registration form
- When your registration details arrive, sign in and activate your e-Bond account as detailed in the section above
IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE:
Opening your FlexAccount and registering for Internet Banking DOES NOT automatically open an e-Bond account. To open an e-bond account you must follow the steps detailed in the section 'I have a Nationwide Current Account and I am an Internet Banking user' above.
The e-Bond account will be in the same names (joint or sole) as the FlexAccount.
This account is operated via the internet bank only. Branches cannot administer it for you.
Please note that The Nationwide Promise (the 14 day 'cooling off' period) does not apply to e-Bonds as these are fixed rate accounts.
