    There is no need to inform them.

    I would inform the bank that you are expecting the funds and the source.

    An alternative approach could be to contact Nationwide. After all, they'll defintely know whether you need to inform your building society, who is...er, Nationwide :).

    Better to be wise before a potential financial disaster than sorry afterwards ;)

    Is it coming from a reputable source? I had over £120K paid into my Nationwide account by my solicitor on the sale of my house without telling them it was coming and with no problems whatsoever.
  • IMO they will contact you just to make sure that the money is going into the right account bla.h blah blah

    which will be a thinly veiled attempt to sell you something on which they have a focus. Nationwide are into punting their investment offerings atm. I would decline any offer from them as they only have a fairly restricted set of investments, and these have excessive charges.

    How will they know the source is 'reputable' or not?

    ...beat me to it - when my redundancy package was paid into my NatWest account a few years ago, I got an immediate phone call.....which rapidly turned into a selling opportunity!!!:rotfl:
