Getting a bank statement is often a crucial task, whether it's for budgeting, applying for a loan, or simply keeping track of your finances. If you're a Nationwide customer, their banking app offers a convenient way to access your statements. While the app allows you to view your transactions and some statements, for a full, downloadable PDF statement, you'll generally need to use the Nationwide Internet Bank (their online banking portal).
However, the app is an excellent starting point for reviewing your account activity. Let's dive into a comprehensive, step-by-step guide on how to navigate this process, engaging with the app's features to understand your financial flow.

| How To Get A Bank Statement On The Nationwide App |
Step 1: Your Gateway to Digital Banking - Logging In
First things first, you need to access the Nationwide Banking App.
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.
-
1.1 Find and Open the App:
- Locate the Nationwide Banking App icon on your smartphone or tablet. It usually has the Nationwide logo (a blue or white 'N' in a circle).
- Tap on the icon to launch the application.
-
1.2 Secure Your Entry:
- The app will prompt you for your login credentials. This might be your Passnumber (a 6-digit number you set up), or if your device supports it, you can use Biometrics like Face ID or Touch ID for a quicker login.
- Always ensure you're on a secure and trusted Wi-Fi network or using your mobile data when accessing your banking app to protect your sensitive information.
Step 2: Navigating to Your Accounts - The Dashboard View
Once you're securely logged in, you'll land on your app's home screen, often referred to as the dashboard.
- 2.1 Overview of Your Finances:
- On this screen, you'll see a summary of all your Nationwide accounts, such as your Current Accounts, Savings Accounts, Credit Cards, and Mortgages. Each account will typically be displayed as a distinct tile or section.
- Take a moment to familiarise yourself with the layout. Nationwide aims for a user-friendly experience, so icons and labels should be intuitive.
Step 3: Selecting the Account for Your Statement
To get to the statement for a specific account, you need to select it from your list.
- 3.1 Tap on Your Desired Account:
- Simply tap on the account for which you wish to view or obtain a statement. For example, if you want your current account statement, tap on your "FlexAccount" or "Current Account" tile.
- This action will open a detailed view of that particular account, showing recent transactions.
Step 4: Exploring Your Transaction History (In-App Viewing)
While the app primarily allows viewing of transactions, this is often sufficient for a quick check.
QuickTip: Take a pause every few paragraphs.
-
4.1 Scroll Through Transactions:
- You'll see a list of your most recent transactions. You can scroll up or down to view more entries.
- The app typically displays transactions for a set period, often the last month or so.
-
4.2 Adjusting the Activity Period:
- Look for an option like "Activity from" or a date range selector. Tapping this will allow you to choose different time periods to view more historical transactions within the app (often up to 15 months).
- While this is great for reviewing, remember that this is a transaction list and not a formal, downloadable statement in PDF format within the app itself.
Step 5: Accessing Formal Statements (Via Internet Bank Integration)
For a full, downloadable bank statement in PDF format, the Nationwide app often directs you to its Internet Bank.
-
5.1 Locating the Statement Option:
- Within the chosen account's detailed view, look for an option that says "My Documents," "Statements," "View statements," or something similar. Nationwide's app is designed to integrate with their Internet Bank for this functionality.
- If you find a "Download statements" or "View statements" option directly in the app, tapping it might launch a web browser within the app or redirect you to the Internet Bank login page.
-
5.2 Transitioning to the Internet Bank (If Required):
- If the app directs you to the Internet Bank, you'll need to log in again using your Internet Bank credentials (Customer Number, date of birth, and then either your Passnumber with a text code or your debit card and card reader).
- This extra security step ensures your full statements are accessed only through a highly secure portal.
Step 6: Downloading Your Statement from the Internet Bank
Once you're in the Nationwide Internet Bank, the process to download your statement is straightforward.
 |
-
6.1 Navigating to Statement Archive:
- After logging into the Internet Bank, look for a "View accounts" tab or similar.
- Select your current account (or the relevant account) from the list.
- Then, find and select "Statement archive" or "My Documents" from the menu.
-
6.2 Choosing Your Statement Date:
- You'll see a list of available statements, typically organised by date.
- Choose the statement date you wish to view or download. Nationwide usually allows you to download up to 36 months of past statements as PDF files.
-
6.3 Downloading Your Statement:
- Once you've selected the statement, there will be an option to download it. This will usually save the statement as a PDF file to your device's downloads folder.
- You might also have the option to print it directly from this view.
