Nationwide Building Society has launched a new regular savings account, exclusively for current account customers, paying a top rate of eight percent AER\/gross.<\/p>\n
The new deal comes alongside a market-leading bank switching incentive, which will see those who switch to a Nationwide current account receive a payment of \u00a3200.<\/p>\n
Tom Riley, director of retail products at Nationwide Building Society, said: \u201cWe want to give people every reason to join and stay with Nationwide.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why we are offering new and existing current account customers a top-of-market \u00a3200 if they switch their main banking relationship to the Society.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re also rewarding our current account customers with a market-leading rate of eight percent AER on our Flex Regular Saver. We believe this is a further demonstration of the difference of being part of a modern, member-owned organisation.\u201d<\/p>\n
