April 2024 – A number of members, concerned about the Nationwide board’s proposed takeover of Virgin Money without any input from members, have attempted to present the Nationwide board with a petition signed by 500 members. The petition asks for a Special General Meeting to be held to debate the proposal. Needless to say the board, always ready to demonstrate its principles of mutuality and to show who owns the society, rejected it without hesitation. nationwide-virgin-money-member-vote.org.uk.
