All about us

Always on the UP
Bigger and bolder
Nationwide is the largest building society in the world. And though, for you, that means enormous scope, variety and opportunity, there are also many other good reasons to join us. One of the most compelling is that we’re an accredited 'Investor in People' for the fourth time running – and one of only 36 companies to be recognised as an 'Investor in People Champion'.

On top of this we’re entering a bold new phase in our 160 year history. We intend to aim higher, think smarter and act faster than ever before. And right across our business we’re looking for people with the talent and drive to boost our performance even further.

Mutual benefits
By looking after our people we’ve built a hugely successful business and established ourselves as one of the most familiar names on the High Street. And as well as seeing us there, you may know us through our football sponsorship or the Nationwide Mercury Prize – the UK’s most prestigious music award.

You may even be one of our customers – reaping the benefits of our award-winning products and our mutual status. After all, we have a relationship with one in four households. As the UK’s largest mutual, we’re owned by and run for the benefit of our customers or ‘members’. We don’t have any shareholders to answer to, so we’re genuinely free to put our customers’ interests first.

Growing popularity
We now serve 13 million customers and our reputation for honesty, integrity, fairness and value for money is helping us attract many more. Add a complete range of financial services – savings, investments, insurance, mortgages, loans, pensions, credit cards and banking – and it’s not surprising that we open around 3,000 new accounts every day.
