Anyone who is eligible will be paid automatically so you don't need to apply for it. To be entitled to the £100, you need to have a qualifying current account, plus a savings account or mortgage product with Nationwide.

Current accounts must have been opened on or before March 31, 2023, and still be open in June to receive the cash reward. Other current account eligibility criteria can be found below, depending on the type of account you have.

Savings accounts will need to have had at least £100 in total in one or more accounts at the end of any day in March 2023. This can include personal savings accounts and ISAs.

To have a qualifying mortgage, a customer must owe at least £100 on their Nationwide residential mortgage on March 31, 2023. Chief executive Debbie Crosbie said: "We have delivered a strong financial performance by providing banking that is fairer, more rewarding and for the good of society.

"Our strongest financial performance means that we are able to launch the Nationwide Fairer Share Payment, as well as the Nationwide Fairer Share Bond - with a highly competitive interest rate on savings for our existing members. We can do this because we're a building society, not a bank, and our profit is reinvested for our members' benefit."
