About Nationwide Building Society

Nationwide Building Society is the largest building society in the world. It has its headquarters in Swindon, England, and maintains a significant administration centre in Northampton. Since the merger with the Portman it has gained an additional 1.8 million members and now has 15 million customers, 20 million accounts and employs 19,000 people across the UK. It is the only UK building society to clear its own cheques, and the only UK financial institution to offer completely fee-free transactions (both electronic and cash withdrawals) worldwide with their VISA branded debit cards. Nationwide was much the largest British building society that did not convert to a bank in the wave of demutalisations that occurred from the late 1980s to the late 1990s. As of 2008, it is larger than all the other remaining British building societies combined, measured by total assets. It is a member of the Building Societies Association.
