The end of the passport book nationwide when the construction society intends to replace them with cards

Nationwide members are unable to use their passport books tomorrow – as part of the construction society plan to “modernize” them.

It says that less than 2 out of 16 million members use physical notebooks that store deposits and lifting when they are made at the counter.

They are often used by those who decide to perform banking at the branch, including the elderly or vulnerable.

Instead, customers are offered a “savings wallet” that includes a physical card that can only be used in a nationwide branch.

For savers who accommodate or raise money with the wallet, printed mini statements are offered.

The national representative said, “Customers are still able to control their current accounts at the branch.”
