Nationwide has launched a £200 current account switching deal with a regular savings account at 8% AER.
Good news for those keeping an eye out for the newest switching deal. As we enter autumn, more and more deals are coming onto the market. The latest one is a £200 switching offer from Nationwide.
Nationwide is offering £200 to switch to one of its current accounts: FlexPlus, FlexDirect or FlexAccount. Alongside this, customers will be able to access its Flex Regular Saver at 8% AER.
How do you get the £200 bonus?
In order to qualify for the £200 switch incentive, you’ll need to complete a full switch using the Current Account Switch Service. A minimum of 2 active direct debits must also be transferred to your new account.
The switch must be completed within 60 days of it being requested and you must not have received a switching offer from Nationwide since 18 August 2021.
You can pick from any of the society’s main 3 current accounts. FlexAccount is its everyday banking account, FlexDirect pays 5% AER credit interest, while FlexPlus is a packed account with a fee of £13 per month.
