How to vote in the Nationwide AGM

We are advising all members to vote AGAINST all resolutions and AGAINST the re-election of the board in protest of the treatment of members by the leadership of Nationwide.

For more information, please see our press releases from

• 10th June – Nationwide members urged to vote “No to All” at AGM in protest at the handling of the proposed Virgin Money acquisition
• 7th July – Leader of member campaign, de-banked by Nationwide building society ahead of next week’s AGM, urges all members to vote against re-election of the society’s board

The 2024 AGM is online only – if you are a member (most customers of Nationwide are members), you can attend the AGM virtually at 11am on Wednesday 17th July.

You may have received an AGM ballot by post or an invitation to vote by email.

However if you can’t attend, or haven’t received a voting communication, you can still request your voting codes over email and submit your vote online in advance of the AGM on Wednesday 17th July.
