Nationwide Building Society is expected to reintroduce its popular Fairer Share bonus payment scheme in June 2025, potentially giving qualifying customers £100 each.
The UK's largest building society has run the scheme for the past two years, with more than three million customers receiving payments.
If introduced by the lender, the anticipated summer payout would mark the third consecutive year of the bonus scheme.
However, customers should note that they need to meet specific eligibility criteria to qualify for the potential £100 payment.
Nationwide Building Society could continue with is £100 bonus scheme
NATIONWIDE BUILDING SOCIETYThe building society is set to make an official announcement about the 2025 scheme on May 29. The bonus payments are part of Nationwide's commitment to returning value to its members.
To qualify for the anticipated £100 bonus, customers must have used their current accounts up until March 31 this year.
This includes making purchases with a debit card, having direct debits, or receiving income such as salaries.
New customers who joined after April appear to be excluded from the scheme.

In addition to a current account, eligible customers must also have either a savings account or mortgage with Nationwide.
They must have had at least £100 in their savings account or owe at least £100 on a mortgage. These criteria mirror previous years' requirements for the Fairer Share payment scheme.
The scheme's annual continuation is not guaranteed and depends on the building society's financial performance.
However, executives have expressed their intention to run the giveaway again this year.
The building society has positioned these payments as part of its mutual difference, returning value directly to customers.
Since April 2023, Nationwide has provided over £3.5billion in member value, including £729million through two previous Fairer Share Payments.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
This bonus scheme follows separate £50 payments received by millions of Nationwide customers in April 2025.
These payments were related to Nationwide's acquisition of Virgin Money in 2024.
Over 12 million members shared more than £600million as a thank you for enabling the successful purchase.
Debbie Crosbie, Nationwide CEO, said: "Nationwide became even stronger when it bought Virgin Money and we are already improving services for its customers. The Big Nationwide Thank You recognises the role our members played in building the financial strength that made the deal possible."
