Nationwide Building Society

Nationwide Building Society is a large financial cooperative in the UK that provides banking services such as savings accounts, mortgages, and loans. Unlike banks owned by shareholders, it is owned by its members—customers who use its services—meaning profits are often reinvested or shared. Nationwide aims to offer competitive rates and good customer service, focusing on stability and community support rather than maximizing profits. It operates with a cooperative ethos, emphasizing customer interests, and is one of the largest building societies in the UK.
