What is The Big Nationwide Thank You?
On 1 October 2024, we completed the purchase of Virgin Money, becoming an even stronger force in UK banking. This was made possible by the financial strength Nationwide members helped us build.
To say thank you, we’ve given over 12 million of our members £50 each as part of The Big Nationwide Thank You. Over £600 million in total.
Over 12 million members received a payment
£50 was paid to each eligible member
Over £600 million in total was given back to members
How did members qualify for the payment?
You must have been a Nationwide member on 30 September 2024. And still have been a member when we made the payment.
In the 12 months to the end of September 2024, members must also have:
- had at least one qualifying transaction on your Nationwide current account or savings account, or
- had at least £100 in total in one or more of your Nationwide current accounts and savings accounts, or
- owed at least £100 in total on one or more Nationwide residential mortgages.
You also met the requirements if you completed a switch to any Nationwide current account. You just had to do so between 1 July 2024 and 30 September 2024 using the Current Account Switch Service.
