Overview
- To qualify, customers must switch from a non‑Nationwide account into a FlexDirect, FlexAccount or FlexPlus current account.
- A full switch via the Current Account Switch Service is required, including closure of the old account and moving at least two active direct debits.
- The switch must complete within 28 days of applying, then within 31 days customers must deposit at least £1,000 and make one debit card payment.
- The £1,000 can be paid in one or multiple instalments, and the card payment can be most in‑store or online purchases or a recurring card payment.
- Nationwide has not provided an end date and notes restrictions, including ineligibility for those who have received a Nationwide online switch offer since 2021, while rivals such as Lloyds have recently withdrawn similar deals.
