Let's dive in!
Step 1: Are You Ready to Take Control of Your Finances? Let's Get Started!
Before we begin, make sure you have a few things in order:
- Your Nationwide Banking App Installed: If you haven't already, download the official Nationwide Banking App from your device's app store (Google Play Store for Android or Apple App Store for iOS).
- Your Login Credentials: You'll need your customer number, memorable data, and ideally your passcode or fingerprint/face ID set up for quicker access.
- A Stable Internet Connection: Ensure you're connected to Wi-Fi or have a good mobile data signal to avoid interruptions.
Got all that? Fantastic! Let's move on.
Step 2: Logging into Your Nationwide Banking App
This is where your financial journey through the app truly begins.
- 2.1 Launch the App: Tap on the Nationwide Banking App icon on your smartphone or tablet's home screen. It usually has the Nationwide logo.
- 2.2 Enter Your Login Details:
- You'll typically be prompted to enter your customer number.
- Next, you'll enter your memorable data. This is usually a few characters from a word or phrase you set up.
- Finally, you'll enter your passcode, or if you've enabled it, use your fingerprint or face ID for a faster, more secure login.
- 2.3 Successful Login: Once you've entered the correct details, you'll be taken to your app's home screen, which usually displays an overview of your accounts.
Step 3: Navigating to Your Account Details
Now that you're in, let's find the specific account you want to get a statement for.
- 3.1 Select Your Account: On the home screen, you'll see a list of your Nationwide accounts (e.g., current account, savings account, credit card). Tap on the specific account for which you wish to download the statement. This will take you to that account's detailed transaction history.
- 3.2 Locating the Statement Option: Once you're viewing the transactions for your chosen account, you'll need to look for an option related to "Statements" or "Documents." This might be:
- A dedicated button or link labeled "Statements."
- An option within a "More," "Menu," or "..." (three dots) icon, which often contains additional features.
- Sometimes, it might be found by scrolling down within the account details screen.
Step 4: Choosing Your Statement Period
Nationwide allows you to download statements for various periods.
- 4.1 Accessing Statement Options: Tapping on "Statements" or the equivalent option will usually present you with a list of available statement periods.
- 4.2 Selecting the Desired Period:
- You might see a list of monthly statements (e.g., "Statement for May 2025," "Statement for April 2025").
- There might also be an option to select a custom date range. If you need a statement for a specific period not listed, choose this option and enter your desired start and end dates. Be precise with your dates!
- Important Note: Some older statements might not be immediately available digitally and might require you to request a paper copy through the app or by contacting Nationwide directly.
Step 5: Downloading Your Statement
Almost there! This is the final step to getting your statement.
- 5.1 Previewing (Optional): Depending on the app's design, you might have the option to preview the statement before downloading. This can be useful to ensure it's the correct one.
- 5.2 Initiating the Download: Once you've selected the statement you want, look for a "Download," "Save," or "Export" button or icon (often represented by a down arrow or a share icon). Tap this to begin the download process.
- 5.3 Choosing a Save Location (if prompted): Your device might ask you where you want to save the downloaded statement. Common options include:
- Your device's "Downloads" folder.
- A specific "Documents" or "Files" app folder.
- Cloud storage services like Google Drive or iCloud (if integrated).
- Recommendation: Choose a location you can easily remember and access later.
- 5.4 File Format: Nationwide bank statements are typically downloaded in PDF format, which is a widely accessible and secure document format. You'll need a PDF viewer (most smartphones have one built-in or you can download a free one) to open the file.
- 5.5 Confirmation: Once the download is complete, you'll usually see a notification on your screen confirming that the statement has been successfully downloaded.
Step 6: Accessing Your Downloaded Statement
Now that it's on your device, let's open it up!
- 6.1 Navigate to Your Save Location: Go to the folder or app where you saved the statement (e.g., your "Files" app, "Downloads" folder).
- 6.2 Open the PDF: Tap on the downloaded PDF file. It should open automatically with your device's default PDF viewer.
- 6.3 Review Your Statement: You can now view your transaction history, account balance, and other important details. You can also print it if needed from your device.
