Step 1: Identify Your Nationwide Online Access Method - Are you using the Internet Bank or the Banking App?
Before we dive into the login specifics, it's crucial to understand that Nationwide offers two primary ways to access your online accounts, including your mortgage:
- The Nationwide Internet Bank: This is the traditional web-based platform, accessible via a web browser on your computer or tablet. It generally offers a more comprehensive view and wider range of functionalities.
- The Nationwide Banking App: Designed for mobile devices (smartphones and tablets), this app provides a convenient and often quicker way to check your accounts on the go.
Think about which method you typically prefer or have set up. Knowing this will guide you to the correct login pathway.

Step 2: Navigate to the Correct Nationwide Login Page
Now that you know your preferred access method, let's get you to the right place.

Step 3: Enter Your Login Credentials
This is where you'll provide the information Nationwide uses to verify your identity.
Sub-heading: Internet Bank Login Details
Nationwide offers a couple of options for logging into the Internet Bank:
-
Using your Customer Number:
- You'll be prompted to enter your Customer Number. This is usually your date of birth (DDMMYY) followed by a unique number (up to 4 digits). Mortgage-only customers can also use this.
- Click "Continue."
- You'll then typically have the option to log in using:
- Your passnumber and a code sent to you by text.
- Your debit card and a card reader. If you have a card reader, this is a very secure method.
-
Using your 16-digit Debit or Credit Card Number:
- If you've forgotten your customer number, you can often use your 16-digit debit or credit card number as an alternative.
- Follow the on-screen prompts, which may include entering your date of birth and then proceeding with a passnumber/text code or card reader verification.
Sub-heading: Banking App Login Details
The Banking App offers more modern and convenient login methods:
Tip: Highlight what feels important.
- Biometric Login (Touch ID/Face ID):
- If your device supports it and you've enabled it, you can often log in using your fingerprint (Touch ID) or facial recognition (Face ID). This is usually the fastest and easiest way.
- Passnumber:
- You might be asked to enter specific digits from your passnumber. This is a unique numerical password you set up.
Step 4: Complete the Security Verification
Security is paramount, and Nationwide employs various measures to ensure only you can access your account.
Sub-heading: Text Message Codes (One-Time Passcodes)
- If you've opted for login via passnumber, Nationwide will often send a one-time passcode (OTP) to your registered mobile phone number.
- Enter this code carefully into the designated field on the login screen. These codes are time-sensitive, so act quickly.
Sub-heading: Card Reader Verification
- If you're using a card reader, you'll be instructed to insert your Nationwide debit card into the reader.
- Follow the on-screen prompts on the reader itself, which will typically involve entering your card PIN and then pressing a specific button to generate a unique code.
- Enter this code into the Nationwide login screen.
Step 5: Access Your Mortgage Manager
Once you've successfully logged in to either the Internet Bank or the Banking App, you'll need to navigate to your mortgage account.
Sub-heading: In the Internet Bank
- Select your mortgage account: On your main account overview screen, you should see a list of your Nationwide accounts. Click or select your mortgage account.
- Go to "Related services" or "Manage your mortgage": Look for a menu on the left-hand side or a prominent link that says "Related services" or specifically "Manage your mortgage." Clicking this will take you to the Mortgage Manager section.
Sub-heading: In the Banking App
- Select your mortgage account: Similar to the Internet Bank, tap on your mortgage account from your account overview.
- Tap "Manage your mortgage": You'll typically find a clear option to "Manage your mortgage" directly within the mortgage account details.
Congratulations! You should now be logged into your Nationwide Mortgage Manager, where you can view your details, manage payments, and explore other services.

Troubleshooting Common Nationwide Mortgage Login Issues
Sometimes, things don't go as smoothly as planned. Here's what to do if you encounter difficulties.
Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.
1. Forgotten Your Customer Number or Passnumber?
- Don't panic! Nationwide has a clear process for this.
- On the login page, look for links like "Forgotten your online banking details?" or "Forgotten passnumber."
- You'll likely be guided through a process to recover your customer number or reset your passnumber, which may involve using your debit card and a card reader, or answering security questions. You can also contact Nationwide directly for assistance.
2. Locked Out of Your Account?
- If you've made too many incorrect login attempts, your account might be temporarily locked for security reasons.
- The login screen will usually inform you if your account is locked and provide instructions on how to unlock it, often by resetting your password.
- If you continue to have issues, contact Nationwide customer support.
3. My Account is Missing from Online Banking!
- If your mortgage account isn't showing after you log in, it could be due to a few reasons:
- New account: It can take a few working days for newly opened accounts to appear.
- Just registered for online banking: It might take up to 24 hours for all accounts to display after initial registration.
- Account closure/switch: If the account was recently closed or switched, it won't show.
- If none of these apply, call Nationwide's customer service for assistance.
4. Issues with Your Card Reader
- Ensure your card reader has fresh batteries if it's a battery-powered model.
- Make sure your debit card is fully inserted into the reader.
- Double-check that you're entering the correct PIN into the card reader and the correct code generated by the reader into the Nationwide login screen.
- If the card reader itself seems faulty, you may need to request a replacement from Nationwide.
5. Technical Glitches or Service Status
- Occasionally, Nationwide's online services might experience temporary technical issues.
- Check the Nationwide Service Status page on their website (usually found in the footer or help section) to see if there are any known outages or planned maintenance.
- Try clearing your browser's cache and cookies or trying a different browser if you suspect a local technical glitch.
