- The account offers a passbook or card. If you have a passbook you will not be able to change to a card. If you have a card you will not be able to change to a passbook.
Interest
- Interest is calculated daily and paid:
- annually on 31 December and on closure; or
- monthly on the last day of each calendar month and on closure.
- Interest can be paid either into the account, a Nationwide current or savings account (excluding Regular Savings or Flexclusive Regular Saver), or a current account with another bank or building society. Monthly interest cannot be paid into the account.
- The interest rate is variable. From time to time, the account may have tiered interest rates, based on the balance in your account.

When the balance in your account changes, taking you into a different tier, the interest rate for the new tier will be applied automatically.
