This new loan rate is available to existing Nationwide main current account, savings and mortgage members. Members can apply for the loan online, in branch or on the phone and receive the funds the same day. Also, unlike many other providers, the Society doesn’t apply an early settlement charge if the member wants to repay the loan early.
For members looking to borrow a smaller amount, the Society has also reduced the rate on loans of between £3,000 and £4,999 to a competitive 9.8% APR representative.
Louise Prior, Head of Unsecured Lending at Nationwide Building Society, said: “Whether you’re looking to fund home improvements, a new car or consolidate existing debts, our new loan rates are amongst the most competitive on the market and exclusively for our members. Many of whom will go on to repay their loan early and we don’t think they should be penalised for this, so unlike many of our competitors we don’t apply an early settlement charge if they do.”

| Loan Amount | Rates for main current account, mortgage and savings members |
