Will a subsequent £100 Fairer Share payment be issued nationwide, with me receiving it, and when will this information be disclosed?
Whelp, I cashed in a tidy £50 thanks to Nationwide last month. Was expecting the big £100 again, but I guess I had to wait and see, huh?
But now, with this extra fifty smackers in my pocket, I'm left with questions: Did Nationwide cut back on the bonuses? Could there still be a £100 payout this year?
Well, let's dive into the deets, shall we? As it turns out, about 12 million Nationwide members will receive Nationwide's Big Thanks payment by April 30, with the stragglers getting their checks by May 14. And that's a warm little surprise for the Nationwide members!
But wait a tick – some folks are wondering if they'll also bag the £100 Fairer Share payment in May. Since they already got the £50 bonus, they're wondering if their future payout will be smaller. No worries, here's the answer: these payments are completely independent, so they don't affect each other.
By the way, the £50 benny is a whole different thing from Nationwide's 2025 Fairer Share Scheme that may or may not be announced next month, depending on their financial performance. So, who knows? More Nationwide members could end up with a whopping £150 in their account if the Fairer Share bonus gets unveiled after all.
If the Fairer Share payment does happen again, it would be the third year in a row, and lucky ducks could take home a total of £350 over the period. A Nationwide spokesperson said: "The Big Thank You and Fairer Share Payment are two separate deals, but we certainly hope to dish out another Fairer Share payment in 2025. Our financial performance will decide the final call."
Now, here's a quick lowdown on how past Fairer Share payouts happened. To be eligible, you had to have either a qualifying current account and qualifying savings or a mortgage. Just stay active and meet certain criteria, and you might just score a bonus! The eligibility requirements may have changed, but the general gist remains the same: meet the criteria, score the bonus. So keep an eye on those requirements as the date for the 2025 payment draws closer.
In the end, just sit tight and keep your fingers crossed. We'll know more in a month or so, once Nationwide spits out their financial results for the 2024/25 fiscal year. In the meantime, enjoy your £50!
