Ownership matters!

This week 2,600 Nationwide members in Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton will receive a £100 “Fairer Share” payment

This year marks the fourth consecutive year that Nationwide will return £100 to eligible members through our Fairer Share payment. This commitment reflects the strength of the mutual model, sharing value with the people who own the building society – its members.

In Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton, 2,600 members will benefit from the £100 Fairer Share payment, meaning £260,000 will be returned directly to local constituents this year.

On top of this they have committed to maintaining a high street branch, standing from the growing list of banks abandoning our town centres.

We need more community focused and consumer owned businesses, and I’m pleased our work through the Co-operative Party to double the size of the sector has been taken up by the government.
