Nationwide, Britain's biggest building society, will make the payment the fourth consecutive year for its Fairer Share scheme. Members who have opened qualifying current accounts in 2025, including savings and mortgages, will receive the bonus. The decision depends on financial performance and board approval.
Nationwide will announce another £100 profit-sharing bonus for each of its more than four million eligible members when it posts annual results on Thursday. It will be the fourth year running that Britain's biggest building society has made the payment under its Fairer Share scheme.
But Virgin Money customers, who recently became Nationwide members following a £2.9 billion takeover, will have to wait until next year for any payout. Almost half of Virgin Money's 6.3 million customers qualify as Nationwide members because they have personal current accounts, savings and mortgages – but they missed the March cut-off for a payment this year. Like other savings and loans groups, Nationwide has gained from higher-for-longer interest rates.
It means the mutual makes more money from the difference it charges borrowers and pays depositors, boosting profits and raising the prospect of an even higher payout to members. Last year, members needed a qualifying current account open on March 31, 2025, combined with either at least £100 in total savings or a minimum of £100 owed on a mortgage, on the same date. These criteria may change this year.
Boost: Nationwide, led by chief executive Debbie Crosbie, pictured, said it aimed to make the Fairer Share payment again this year, 'subject to financial performance and board approval' RELATED ARTICLES Share this article Share HOW THIS IS MONEY CAN HELP James Sherwin-Smith, who hopes to become Nationwide's first director representing members in over two decades, questioned why only a minority of them received payouts.
'Is there a better use or more equitable distribution of members' capital? ' he asked. Nationwide, led by chief executive Debbie Crosbie, pictured, said it aimed to make the Fairer Share payment again this year, 'subject to financial performance and board approval'. The building society now runs Britain's biggest single-brand banking network, which has 605 branches.
The company plans to keep them and Virgin Money's 91 High Street outlets open until at least 2030. The mutual is paying tycoon Sir Richard Branson £250 million for use of the Virgin Money name in the meantime but has yet to say how much it will cost to fully integrate the bank.
