www.nationwide.co.ukOur dual origins lie in Northampton (1848) and within the co-operative movement in London (1883) respectively.
Over a hundred mergers later - most notably the merger between the Nationwide and the Anglia Building Societies in 1987 - we are now the UK's fifth largest mortgage lender and ninth largest retail banking, saving and lending organisation by asset size. More significantly, we are the largest building society in the world and are committed to staying mutual.
With headquarters in Swindon and a second major administrative centre at Northampton, we now offer a broad range of retail financial services. Mortgages, savings, current accounts, life assurance and investment products, personal loans and household insurance are all available from the Nationwide Group. We have mutual (as opposed to Public Limited Company) status, which means that we are owned by our members and are run day-to-day by an executive management team overseen by an elected board of directors. Like all building societies, we are authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority for life assurance, pensions and unit trust products.
