Step 1: Choose Your Preferred Method
Nationwide offers a couple of primary ways to access and download your savings account statements. You can choose the one that best suits your comfort level and device availability.
Option A: The Nationwide Internet Bank (Desktop/Laptop)
This is the traditional online banking portal, accessible from any web browser on your computer. It offers a robust set of features, including statement downloads.
Option B: The Nationwide Banking App (Mobile/Tablet)
If you prefer banking on the go, the Nationwide Banking app provides a streamlined experience for accessing your accounts and statements directly from your smartphone or tablet.

Step 2: Log In to Your Nationwide Account
Regardless of your chosen method, the first crucial step is to securely log in.
Sub-heading: Logging in to the Internet Bank
- Open your web browser: Go to the official Nationwide website.
- Locate the "Log in" button: This is usually prominent on the homepage. Click on it.
- Enter your Customer Number: This is a unique number provided by Nationwide.
- Enter your Date of Birth: For security purposes, you'll also need to input your date of birth.
- Choose your login method: You'll typically have an option to log in using:
- Your Passnumber and a code sent via text: This is a common and secure method. Keep your registered mobile phone handy.
- Your debit card and a card reader: If you use a card reader for enhanced security, you'll need it for this step.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the login process.
Sub-heading: Logging in to the Nationwide Banking App
- Open the Nationwide Banking App: Make sure you have the official app downloaded from your device's app store (Google Play Store for Android, Apple App Store for iOS).
- Choose your login method:
- Touch ID or Face ID: If your device supports it and you've set it up, this is often the quickest way to log in.
- Passnumber: Enter the specific digits asked for from your passnumber.
- Follow any additional security checks the app may prompt for.
Step 3: Navigate to Your Statements
Once successfully logged in, you'll need to find the section dedicated to your account statements.
Sub-heading: Finding Statements in the Internet Bank
- Select "View Accounts": After logging in, you'll usually see a "View accounts" or similar tab. Click on it.
- Choose your Savings Account: From the list of your accounts, carefully select your specific savings account.
- Look for "My Documents" or "Statement Archive": Nationwide typically organises statements under "My Documents" or "Statement Archive" within the account details. Click on this option.
- You may also find an option to "View and download statements" directly on your account summary page.
Sub-heading: Finding Statements in the Banking App
- Select Your Account: From the app's main screen, tap on your savings account from the list of your accounts.
- Look for "My Documents" or a "Statements" option: Similar to the Internet Bank, statements are usually found within a "My Documents" section or a dedicated "Statements" button.
Step 4: Select Your Desired Statement Period
Nationwide usually allows you to access a good range of past statements.
- Choose a Statement Date/Period: You'll typically see a list of available statement dates. You can often view and download statements for the last 36 months (three years) online.
- If you need a specific date range: While Nationwide often provides monthly statements, some users have reported being able to "enter dates" to generate statements for custom periods. Look for an option like "Enter dates" or "Search between two dates" to specify your start and end dates. Ensure the running balance is shown on the statement, as some financial institutions may require this.
Step 5: View and Download Your Statement
Once you've selected your desired statement, it's time to view and save it.
QuickTip: Don’t skim too fast — depth matters.
- View the Statement: Click on the statement date you wish to view. It will usually open in a PDF viewer within your browser or app.
- Download as PDF: Look for a download icon (often an arrow pointing downwards) or a "Download" button. Click this to save the statement to your device. Statements are typically downloaded in PDF format, which is widely accepted and easy to view.
- Save Your File: Choose a memorable location on your computer or mobile device to save the PDF. Consider renaming the file with a clear name like "NationwideSavingsStatement_[MonthYear].pdf" for easy retrieval.
Step 6: What If I Need Older Statements or Can't Access Online?
While online access covers most recent statements, there might be instances where you need older statements or can't use online banking.
Sub-heading: Requesting Statements via Phone or Branch
- Call Nationwide: You can contact Nationwide's customer service line (usually found on their website) and request a copy of your statement. Be prepared to verify your identity.
- Visit a Nationwide Branch: If you prefer in-person assistance, you can visit your nearest Nationwide branch. A Nationwide colleague can help you request a copy of your statement.
- Be aware: For older statements or specific requests, there might be a fee or a waiting period for postal delivery (e.g., 10 working days).
Sub-heading: Accessing Statements for Closed Accounts
If you've closed a Nationwide account, you may still be able to access historical statements. Nationwide allows online access to historical statements for up to 5 years from account closure, provided you registered for online access within 6 months of closing the account. You'll need your date of birth, account number, sort code, and Nationwide customer number to register.
