The story
Nationwide is the UK's largest building society, a member-owned mutual operating as a full-service retail bank offering current accounts, mortgages, savings, insurance, and personal loans. Unlike shareholder-owned banks, profits are returned to members. In recent years, Nationwide has invested in modernising its technology infrastructure — partnering with Form3 for payments and Jumio for digital KYC — reflecting a broader push to compete with challenger banks on digital onboarding and payment speed while retaining its mutual ethos.
