Nationwide will pay out its £100 bonus payment to around 12 million people this week - with some payments landing in accounts today. 

To qualify for the payout, your Nationwide account must have been active on 31 March 2025 and any additional requirements depend on the type of current account you had on that date.

A statement on the Nationwide website says: "You must be a member of Nationwide with a qualifying current account, plus either qualifying savings or a qualifying mortgage. And you need to have met these criteria when we last checked on 31 March this year.

"Eligible members will receive their £100 payment between 18 June and 4 July 2025. We will only pay the money into an open Nationwide current account."

How does the £100 Nationwide bonus get paid?

For most people it will go directly into a current account, instant access or limited access savings account.

The payment should arrive by July 4 2025.

The website says: "We will pay the money into your Nationwide current account by electronic transfer. If you hold more than one current account with us, we may pay the money into any of those accounts.

"We will pay the money into an account in your sole name if you have one and will pay it into a joint account if you do not.

"The payment will appear on your current account statement as Nationwide Fairer Share Payment.

"We will not make the payment in any other way and if you do not have an open Nationwide current account when we try to make the payment, you will not be eligible to receive it."
