Nationwide will undertake its most significant rebrand in a generation as it commits to the high street at a time banks continue to close branches.

All 605 branches will be rebranded as Britain’s biggest building society continues to value face-to-face service at a time the major banks have closed significant numbers up and down the country. Research from Nationwide reveals 63 per cent of people value their local branch, with face-to-face service the top reason.

The new look for one of Britain’s most trusted brands represents its biggest image overhaul since 1987 – when the average house cost just £40,8821. It is aimed at ensuring Nationwide - a member-owned mutual - remains attractive and relevant for future generations of customers looking for a financial services provider that puts people before profit.​

Debbie Crosbie, chief executive of Nationwide Building Society, said: “Nationwide is the large-scale alternative to shareholder-owned banks. We offer a good way to bank for our customers through our national network of branches, better service, value and fairness. Our rebrand keeps us relevant for customers today and tomorrow.”​

Alongside branches, all payment cards and customer communications will be updated with the new brand as part of a commitment to offer ‘A Good Way To Bank’, based on offering leading service, value and fairness.

The latest move by Nationwide demonstrates the difference a member-owned institution can make for its customers and society.​

In June, Nationwide extended its Branch Promise, meaning it won’t leave any town or city in which it is based until at least 2026. And in May, it returned £340 million of profit to 3.4 million eligible members through the first ‘Nationwide Fairer Share’ payment, with each receiving £100.
