Nationwide deadline: £100 cashback for students before Oct 22

Nationwide has reminded customers that its FlexStudent account offer, which includes £100 cashback and £120 in vouchers, will end at 11.59pm on Thursday, October 22. The building society announced the promotion on Thursday, October 15, and says the account "has quickly become a popular choice among freshers across the UK."

What the FlexStudent account includes

The account offers an interest and fee-free arranged overdraft of up to £1,000 in the first year, £2,000 in the second year, and £3,000 in the third year. To qualify for these overdraft extensions, students must deposit a minimum of £500 each term or have transferred at least £1,500 across two or more transactions during the previous year.

The FlexStudent account also provides commission-free spending and cash withdrawals when abroad. To secure the cash reward and vouchers, students need to open a new FlexStudent account before the cut-off date, deposit at least £500, and complete five debit card transactions by December 11, 2026.

How to claim the bonuses

Customers who meet these requirements will receive £100 within 14 days. Successful account holders will also get a registration code enabling them to claim a £10 Just Eat voucher code monthly throughout the initial 12 months, totalling £120 in vouchers.

Holders of a FlexStudent account will gain exclusive entry to FlexGraduate, a post-university current account featuring an interest-free, fee-free arranged overdraft designed to support students as they transition after university, giving them breathing space to clear their overdraft following course completion.

Fred Powell, Head of Product at Nationwide Building Society, said: "The FlexStudent offer has proved hugely popular with students this year. With the incentives ending soon, we're reminding anyone who wants to benefit from the offer to apply before the deadline."
