Nationwide Sets 7-Day Joint-Account Window and 2-Hour Payment Guide

The mutual sets wait times to help customers know when to seek help.

Overview

  • Nationwide, which responded Friday to customer queries on social media, said new joint accounts can take up to seven days to appear in the app.
  • The society said most single transfers use the Faster Payments Service, which usually delivers money within two hours after it leaves the sender's account.
  • Customers whose funds miss that two-hour window should call 03457 302011 or start a secure chat in the app or internet bank.
  • A full switch under the Current Account Switch Service completes in seven working days and moves your balance plus outgoing payments such as Direct Debits and standing orders.
  • Nationwide notes only the first-named holder can vote on member issues, and it has pledged to keep all 605 branches open until at least 2030.
