InvestDirect - our instant access, savings account

Our InvestDirect account is ideal if you want instant access to your savings account – and the convenience of managing your account through the post or online. You'll need to be a UK resident aged 18 or over to open an account and start enjoying great savings rates from Nationwide.

The account is operated with a cash card or by first class post (we pay all the postage costs). Your free account guide contains pre-paid envelopes, paying-in forms and withdrawal slips.

  • operate your account via post or online – you can even opt for a cash card to use at cash machines 
  • great savings rates from Nationwide
  • the more you put into your account, the higher your savings rates
  • instant access to your savings. Withdraw from £250-£500,000 by post in the form of a cheque or online, or £300 per day using your cash card

For more information about the account please see the account summary page.

An InvestDirect account is right for you if...

  • you want a competitive savings account that you can run from home via post or online
  • you want the option to use a cash machine card to make withdrawals or pay money in
  • you want tiered rates so when your balance reaches a new tier you get a higher rate of interest on all of your saved money
  • you have at least £100 to open the account
