Nationwide Alerts Customers on Delayed Online Access to New Accounts
**Nationwide Provides Update on Changes to Online Account Access**
Nationwide Building Society has communicated important updates regarding its account rules, specifically addressing the visibility of new accounts in the online banking app. In an announcement, the society clarified that new accounts may take up to five working days to show online after being opened.
Customers have expressed disappointment while waiting for their new accounts to appear. One frustrated member commented, "Thought in digital age it would be pretty quick for the new account to appear in the app." This highlights a growing expectation for faster digital services among users.
Nationwide outlined that if a new account does not appear alongside existing savings accounts after five working days, customers should reach out for assistance. "New accounts can take up to five working days to appear online. If it is not showing alongside your savings account after this time, please give us a call on 03457 302011 or pop into your local branch with ID, so we can look into this further," advised the group.
The society also mentioned plans to make a Fairer Share payment again this year, contingent upon the institution’s financial performance and board approval. “Any announcement, including eligibility criteria and amount, will be made on 21 May at Nationwide’s end-of-year financial results,” said a Nationwide spokesperson. This potential payment is anticipated as part of Nationwide's commitment to its members and their engagement with the society.
