Nationwide Building Society is poised to continue its popular customer reward initiative, with members receiving guidance on how to qualify for potential £100 bonus payments next year.
Unlocking Your £100 Bonus
The key to securing this financial boost lies in the society's Fairer Share scheme, which has distributed millions of pounds to loyal members since its introduction in 2023. To become eligible, customers must meet specific criteria that demonstrate their active engagement with the building society.
Members must hold an eligible current account with Nationwide while simultaneously maintaining either a qualifying savings account or a mortgage with the society. Crucially, these accounts need to be actively used rather than remaining dormant.
Important Deadlines and Payment Schedule
The window for qualification typically closes at the end of March, meaning current account holders need to open any required savings products before this deadline to be considered. If the scheme proceeds as anticipated for 2026, successful applicants can expect to receive their £100 payment during June.
While Nationwide has never officially guaranteed the scheme's continuation from year to year, its consistent operation over the past three years makes its return in 2026 highly probable. Some dedicated members who have qualified each year have already accumulated £300 in total payments since the programme's inception.
Strategic Benefits for Members and Nationwide
The eligibility requirements are designed to encourage customers to consolidate their banking with Nationwide, creating a more comprehensive financial relationship. This approach has proven successful for both parties - members receive direct financial rewards while the building society strengthens customer loyalty.
Nationwide has effectively leveraged the Fairer Share scheme in its marketing campaigns, recognising that the prospect of a cash bonus serves as a powerful incentive for attracting new customers to switch from traditional banks.
For existing members, the message is clear: ensuring you meet the eligibility criteria by the spring deadline could result in a welcome £100 payment next summer, continuing a tradition that has already benefited millions of households across the UK.
