Nationwide Building Society is poised to potentially reward its loyal customers with a £100 summer bonus, continuing its Fairer Share scheme that has already benefited over three million members in the past two years.

The bonus targets customers who actively used their current accounts in March, including making debit card purchases, maintaining direct debits, or receiving income, and who also hold either a mortgage or savings account with at least £100 in savings or mortgage debt. This follows a similar pattern from last year, when payments were made in June after eligibility was confirmed by activity through March 31123.

Although Nationwide has yet to officially confirm the scheme’s return for 2025, insiders and financial experts widely expect the bonus to be announced around late May, with payments likely to follow in June.

This anticipated Fairer Share payment would come shortly after Nationwide’s recent £50 “big thank you” bonus, which was distributed to over 12 million customers in April as part of the building society’s recognition of members’ support following its acquisition of Virgin Money in October 2024.

The £50 payment was a one-off profit share for members who held accounts as of September 30, 2024, and met transaction or balance criteria, with tax treatment varying depending on account type34.

Nationwide executives emphasize that such payments serve as incentives for customers to maintain their accounts with the society, reinforcing member loyalty amid a competitive banking landscape.

Customers unsure of their eligibility are encouraged to check via Nationwide’s online tools, while experts like Martin Lewis suggest keeping accounts active and meeting the minimum thresholds to maximize chances of receiving bonuses.

Although the Fairer Share scheme is not guaranteed annually and depends on Nationwide’s financial health, the society has expressed a clear intention to continue the initiative in 2025, reflecting its commitment to sharing profits with members53.
