Urgent query: postal address needed for Nationwide FlexBasic account

Robbie64

A bit of a dramatic title but it is quite urgent. I have a financial document I have almost completed and would like to post it in the morning.

I have a Nationwide FlexBasic account. I have to provide not only the Sort Code, Account Number and the name of the bank (Nationwide) but I also have to provide the address and post code of the bank. I opened the bank account online and my monthly statements only include the address of the Head Office in Swindon (in SN38 1NW). If anyone has the same bank account would you know if that is the address I should use or is there another address you are aware of? I'm assuming with this type of account there is no local branch office address that would be used?

Thanks in advance.

From my N/W Flex Direct chequebook (last used in 2013!!) it says PO Box 8888, Swindon, SN3 1TS

Alternatively, Google is (of course) your friend ...

but, you know that already!

Current postal address, you only need to google it - is 

Nationwide Building Society
Nationwide House
Pipers Way
Swindon
SN38 1NW

I am a current Nationwide customer.  There are other addresses but the head office address is as above.

Thanks for the answers. I do know of Google! But as it brings up three addresses, the Head Office in Swindon and two administrative centres, one in Northampton and the other in Bournemouth I didn't know which one, if any of those, to use. The document I am completing is to claim a works pension and I don't want to slow things down by giving the wrong address.

Assuming this is just details of an account you want them to send money to, nothing's actually going to be posted to the Nationwide, so it doesn't really matter. I think the address is just something they can double-check if you made a mess of the sort code.

Thanks David. It's for a Civil Service pension and in typical Civil Service style they probably still think everyone still has a bank account with a local branch address.

Don't worry about it. As long as the sort code and account number are correct, the address doesn't matter, even for a Civil Service pension.

When I retired 14 years ago, the address I gave for my then 35 year old account, related to a branch which closed several years earlier. My CS pension and lump sum arrived safely. 

Cheque book still shows that address, and my pension still arrives
