There are a number of outstanding PIBS issued, including some that were previously issued by Portman, Derbyshire or Cheshire Building Societies. On the completion of the mergers with each of these Societies, their outstanding PIBS became Nationwide PIBS. PIBS that were originally issued by Nationwide do not confer membership rights on the holder. PIBS that were originally issued by Portman, Cheshire or Derbyshire Building Societies may, in some circumstances, confer membership rights. A Registrar has been appointed to maintain the PIBS Register for each issue of PIBS. If you have any queries surrounding your certificate (for example a change of name or address), please contact the relevant Registrar. Nationwide is not able to buy or sell PIBS in the branch network, via the internet or over the phone. To transact, you need to do so via an appropriately qualified adviser. The Society can provide factual information relating to the PIBS but it is not able to give any form of investment or tax advice to individuals in relation to the PIBS. To obtain advice, individuals should contact an appropriately qualified financial adviser.
