Nationwide Building Society - background

The Nationwide Building Society was originally created in London in 1884.
Since then, and after more than 100 mergers, Nationwide has become the largest building society not only in the UK, but in the world.

Nationwide is based in Swindon, Wiltshire, but also has 700 branches throughout the UK.

Nationwide Building Society has a history of offering good deals to members, and until recently, was the only financial institution in the UK to offer completely fee-free transactions worldwide on VISA debit cards.

Nationwide has long expressed a desire to stay as a mutual building society with real members, and not convert to a Bank with shareholders.

Nationwide Building Society – mortgages

Nationwide has an extensive presence in the residential lending market and is particularly well-placed to assist first-time buyers with attractive and competitive rates on low-deposit mortgages.

Every month, we source funding from Nationwide Building Society for our clients and find their service levels to be regularly in the top tier.

First-time buyers can also benefit from a £500 saving on product fees.
