Nationwide changes rates

At the same time, Nationwide is improving the way it rewards customer loyalty by offering reduced rates to borrowers who choose to stay with the society.

Tracie Pearce, Nationwide’s head of mortgages, said: “We wanted to give existing customers the clear message that their loyalty is valued. We are demonstrating this by offering them lower rates than those we offer our new customers. When other providers use their best deals to lure in new customers, it’s reassuring to know that as an existing customer of Nationwide, whether you go to a broker or come to us direct, you will be offered our best rates.”
