About us

Nationwide Building Society is the world’s largest building society, the UK’s second largest savings provider and third largest mortgage lender. It is also a major provider of current accounts, credit cards and personal loans.

With around 16 million members, Nationwide has a relationship with almost a quarter of the UK population. In the first half of 2010/2011 alone we helped 10,000 people buy their first home.

Since the credit crunch began in 2007, Nationwide has remained profitable against a very difficult economic environment. In the year ending April 2012 Nationwide made a strong underlying profit of £304 million – up 10% from the previous year.
