Nationwide customers could potentially receive returns of up to £759 if they switch savings accounts.

Recently, the bank has hit headlines for offering certain customers free £100 and £200 bonuses.

Now, it has launched a new Member Exclusive Bond offering a five per cent interest rate over 18 months.

This could deliver returns of this amount on the maximum deposit of £10,000.

The fixed-term account, available exclusively to existing Nationwide members, significantly outperforms current market savings rates.

According to Moneyfactscompare.co.uk, the best fixed-rate bond savings accounts up to one year currently offer interest rates of 4.45 per cent.

Members can deposit between £1 and £10,000 into the account. Those investing the maximum amount would receive £759 in interest when the account matures after 18 months, making it one of the most competitive fixed-rate options available.

This offering from the building society comes after Nationwide announced a new Fairer Share Payment, with more than four million eligible members set to receive £100 each.

The payment is set to be distributed directly into members' Nationwide current accounts between June 18 and July 4, 2025.

To qualify for the payment, members must use Nationwide for their everyday banking whilst also holding a qualifying savings or mortgage product with the building society.

The Fairer Share Payment forms part of £1billion in direct payments made to eligible members over the past year.

Nationwide is also introducing a £200 member-only switching incentive as part of its enhanced benefits package.
