The solution enables Nationwide, the world’s largest building society and the UK’s second biggest mortgage issuer, to empower its members to live their financial best

London, September 22, 2026 – Equifax UK has been selected by Nationwide Building Society to power its new, free consumer credit score feature. This integration enhances Nationwide’s digital banking experience for its more than six million app users, encouraging credit awareness by providing members with instant, free access to their credit score directly within the app. 

The solution is provided by Equifax UK consumer credit score services, seamlessly integrating within Nationwide’s digital banking platform to provide a verified, digital view of a customer’s credit score, enabling the organisation to deliver significant added value and digital innovations to its members.
