All about us
Bigger and bolder
Nationwide is the largest building society in the world. That means enormous scope, variety and opportunity, but that’s not all, there are many other good reasons to join us. One of the most compelling is that we're one of only 36 companies to be recognised as an 'Investor in People Champion', and we have recently been recognised with the Gold Award.
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.
Solid. Stable. Dependable
One thing that we pride ourselves on at Nationwide is our long history of being a strong, secure and reliable organisation. We work hard to ensure that we look after our customers, and this is reflected in our success and growth. Our customers view us as being open, honest, fair and trustworthy and a survey by Mintel, in September 2008, found us to be more trusted than any other bank or building society.
In the past, we have always managed our business prudently, and we will continue to do so in the future. We are also not heavily dependent on the wholesale markets for funding, and this allows us to provide a secure and trusted place for our customer's savings.
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 sponsorship of the four Home National football teams, England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
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 over 16 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 5,000 new accounts every day.
