Millions of Nationwide customers are poised to benefit from £100 bonus payments this summer as the building society plans to revive its widely popular Fairer Share scheme for 2026.
Launched over the past three years, Fairer Share has gifted £100 payments to eligible members, rewarding loyal customers while attracting thousands of new ones. Although Nationwide has not yet officially confirmed the scheme’s return, all signs suggest it will be back once again.
To qualify for the payments, members typically need to hold a current account as well as either a qualifying savings account or mortgage with Nationwide. Customers who currently hold only one of these accounts still have time to meet the criteria before the usual March 31 deadline. Payments are generally credited to eligible accounts by June.

Nationwide states on its website that the continuation and terms of Fairer Share depend on its financial performance each year. The decision regarding the 2026 scheme, including any updates to eligibility or payment amounts, will be made following the financial year-end and announced alongside its full-year results in May.
A Nationwide spokesperson commented, “Nationwide’s board will decide on a Fairer Share Payment for 2026 based on our financial performance. The eligibility criteria for this year will be agreed at the same time and announced as part of our full-year results in May.”
For many customers, this prospect offers a welcome bonus and a reason to stay engaged with the building society’s products and services.
