Nationwide makes huge change to 55 savings accounts and 34 ISAs

Nationwide is set to cut interest rates on nearly 90 savings accounts and ISAs in the coming weeks.

The building society said the changes, which are due to take effect on February 1, come following the Bank of England’s latest Base Rate cut to 4.75%.

The Bank of England Base Rate affects the interest rates on savings and loans. A lower Base Rate benefits borrowers by reducing the interest on their debts, but it negatively impacts savers, who receive lower returns on their investments.

Tom Riley, Nationwide’s director of retail products, said: “We have worked hard to limit the impact of the recent rate cut on our savers and have taken the decision to hold rates on some of our most popular accounts, such as our leading Flex Regular Saver.

“Following these changes, our savings range will remain competitive. We returned a record £950million in member financial benefit in the first half of this year and we’ll continue to give savers every reason to put their money with Nationwide.”

Nationwide will be cutting interest rates on up to 55 savings accounts in February.

Most of these accounts are easy access, meaning people can withdraw money if and when needed and mostly without facing penalties.

Many accounts with interest rates of around 2.05% will be reduced to around 1.80%

This includes accounts such as the Branch Easy Access, Cashbuilder Book, Cashbuilder Card, and the Direct Easy Access.

Some accounts will see smaller reductions of between 0.10% and 0.25%.

For ISA products, Nationwide will be reducing interest rates on as many as 34 deals.

Most of these ISAs are also easy access options, and rates will be cut by between 0.10% and 0.25%.
