Agreed. It doesn’t seem “fair” that less than 25% of *building society* members receive these payments, which are geared towards current account usage.

Nationwide building society now operates a virtual only AGM. It’s the only UK building society to do so. There are a number of issues with the practice, and the FRC has questioned whether it’s even legal. More here: james4nationwide.co.uk/nationwide-a...

Thank you for speaking out about this. Nationwide is becoming more bank-like every day, and that’s bad news for everyone in the UK.

Only 4% of 17 million members voted, and less than 0.002% attended the AGM last year.

Please do - the more people that take an interest in how their building society is governed, the better. But don’t get your hopes up in terms of what can be changed in the short term: james4nationwide.co.uk/nationwide-a...
