Navigating your banking on the go has become a necessity, and the Nationwide app makes managing your finances incredibly convenient. One of the most common tasks is downloading your bank statements, whether for budgeting, applying for a loan, or simply keeping your records in order. This comprehensive guide will walk you through every step of downloading your bank statement using the Nationwide app, ensuring you can do it quickly and efficiently.
Unleash Your Financial Control: Downloading Your Nationwide Bank Statement
Are you ready to take control of your financial documents right from your smartphone? Excellent! Let's dive into the simple process of downloading your Nationwide bank statements directly from their banking app. This guide will ensure you have your statements in hand (or on screen!) in no time.
Step 1: Accessing the Nationwide Banking App
The very first step is, of course, to open the Nationwide Banking App on your mobile device.
Sub-heading: Ensure You Have the Latest Version
Before you begin, it's always a good idea to ensure you have the latest version of the Nationwide Banking App installed. Check your device's app store (Google Play Store for Android or Apple App Store for iOS) for any pending updates. An updated app ensures you have access to the latest features and security enhancements.
Sub-heading: Log In Securely
Once the app is open, you'll need to log in. Nationwide offers several secure ways to do this:
- Passnumber: Enter your unique passnumber.
- Biometrics: If enabled on your device, you can use Face ID or Touch ID for a quick and secure login. This is often the fastest and most convenient method.
Remember: Never share your login details with anyone. Nationwide will never ask for your full passnumber or card reader details over the phone or by email.
Step 2: Navigating to Your Accounts
Once successfully logged in, you'll typically land on your app's home screen, which displays an overview of your accounts.
Sub-heading: Select the Desired Account
You will see a list of your Nationwide accounts, such as current accounts, savings accounts, credit cards, or mortgages.
- Tap on the specific account for which you wish to download a statement. For example, if you need a statement for your FlexAccount, tap on "FlexAccount."
Step 3: Locating the "My Documents" Section
After selecting your account, you'll see a detailed view of its transactions. To find your statements, you'll need to look for the "My Documents" or "Statements" section.
Sub-heading: Finding the Right Menu Option
Nationwide's app interface is generally intuitive. Look for options like:
- "My Documents" (this is the most common place for statements and other official documents).
- "Statements"
- "Statement History"
- Sometimes, you might find it under a "More" or "Settings" menu for that specific account.
Tap on the option that clearly indicates statements or documents.
Step 4: Selecting and Downloading Your Statement
Once you're in the "My Documents" or "Statements" section, you'll be able to view a list of your available statements.
Sub-heading: Choose Your Statement Period
Nationwide generally allows you to view and download statements for the last 36 months directly from the app.
- You will see a list of statements, usually organised by month and year.
- Scroll through the list and tap on the specific statement date you wish to download.
Sub-heading: Initiating the Download
Once you've selected the statement, it will usually open in a PDF viewer within the app.
- Look for a download icon (often an arrow pointing downwards) or a share icon (often a square with an arrow pointing upwards, especially on iOS).
- Tap this icon to initiate the download.
- You might be prompted to choose a location to save the PDF file on your device (e.g., "Downloads," "My Files," or directly to a cloud storage service like Google Drive or iCloud).
- Confirm the download and choose your preferred saving location.
Pro Tip: If you need statements for a specific date range that isn't a standard monthly statement, you might need to access the Nationwide Internet Bank (website) for more granular control over date selection. While the app is excellent for monthly statements, the website can sometimes offer more advanced filtering options.
Step 5: Accessing Your Downloaded Statement
Congratulations! You've successfully downloaded your Nationwide bank statement. Now, how do you find it?
Sub-heading: Where Your Statement Lives
- Check your device's "Downloads" folder: This is the most common default location for downloaded files on both Android and iOS.
- Look in your chosen save location: If you selected a specific folder or cloud service during the download, navigate there.
- Use your device's file manager: Android devices have a "Files" or "My Files" app. On iOS, you can use the "Files" app.
Once you locate the PDF, you can open it, print it, or share it as needed.

The app generally provides standard PDF copies, not certified ones.
