Nationwide Building Society is a British mutual financial institution, the largest building society in the world. It has its headquarters in Swindon, England, and maintains significant administration centres in Bournemouth and Northampton. Until mid-2009, when it announced the withdrawal of the service, it had been the only UK financial institution to offer completely fee-free transactions (both electronic and cash withdrawals) worldwide with its VISA debit cards. Nationwide was by far the largest British building society that did not convert to a bank in the wave of demutualisations that occurred from the late 1980s to the late 1990s. As of 2008, it is larger than all the other remaining British building societies combined, measured by total assets. It is a member of the Building Societies Association, the Council of Mortgage Lenders and Co-operatives UK.
Nationwide Building Society provides financial services both directly, and through around 700 branches. Nationwide is a major provider of both mortgage loans and savings in the UK, as well as personal banking such as loans, credit cards, bank accounts and insurance products. Nationwide.co.uk is the main website and sells most products and has around 4.5 million monthly visitors and 1.9 million active internet bankers.
There's something shaking from my head to my feet
I watch the house lights going off in my street
Real night vision, my only desire
And as it fades to nothing we go
Down in the heart of the nation
Out cause the weekend is calling me in
But I'm trying to follow
The tick tick tick at the heart of the nation
There's someone watching on CCTV
24 hours I'm stuck on a screen
Lost in the shadow they follow me round
And I will fade to nothing as we go
Down in the heart of the nation
Out cause the weekend is calling me in
But I'm trying to follow
The tick tick tick at the heart of the nation
Down in the heart of the nation
Out cause the weekend is calling me in
But I'm trying to follow
