About Nationwide Building Society

Nationwide is the world's largest building society. It is owned by its 16 million members and exists to serve their needs. The Society is one of the UK's largest providers for mortgages, savings and current accounts, as well as being a major provider of ISAs, credit cards, personal loans, insurance and investments.

As a mutual organisation, Nationwide Building Society uses its unique position to help build society by making a positive difference to the lives of its members and the communities in which they live. It is why Nationwide still values a branch network, supports communities through charitable grants, and places a premium on helping people thrive financially - whether helping them into a home of their own or giving them the financial support they need. Taking a stand and making a difference is what sets Nationwide apart. None of which would be possible without the dedicated service of its 18,000 employees.

Over the last five years, the Society has grown its membership by nearly 2 million members to over 16 million and returned nearly £3 billion in member financial benefit. It has also grown its stock of residential mortgages by £28billion and the Society hit its long-term target of holding 10 per cent of UK current accounts. Nationwide has remained first amongst its peer group for customer satisfaction for 9 successive years.
