About Nationwide Building Society
Nationwide Building Society was formed in 1970 through the merger of the Co-operative Permanent Building Society and the Nationwide Building Society. It has grown through further mergers to become the world's largest building society and the UK's second-largest mortgage provider. Nationwide serves over 16 million members and holds no shareholders, returning profits to members through competitive rates.
As a mutual, Nationwide offers one of the broadest mortgage ranges in the UK market. The society provides residential, buy-to-let, shared ownership, Help to Buy, self-build, and later-life mortgages. In 2024, Nationwide acquired Virgin Money, creating an even larger mortgage provider while retaining both brands.
Nationwide operates through branches, telephone, and digital channels. The society is known for competitive rates, member benefits, and a commitment to supporting first-time buyers. Nationwide is regulated by the FCA and PRA.
