Nationwide's FlexAccount offers young people extra

Nationwide Building Society has launched an exclusive website offering a range of lifestyle benefits for its FlexAccount customers aged 16-24.

A new bespoke website - flex-zone.co.uk - will offer young FlexAccount customers access to a range of benefits such as special deals on mobile phones, music, entertainment and travel.

These include:

£70 cash back when purchasing any 24 month Vodafone contract.
10% off all ‘pay as you go' handsets.
Every Wednesday - £1 rental on all DVDs, Blu-rays and Games from Blockbuster.
Every Wednesday - 2 -4-1 offers at any Pizza Hut restaurant or takeaway.
Discounts on mp3 downloads from eMusic.
Plus many more including money off holidays and festivals, which will update on a monthly basis.

Graham Pilkington, Nationwide divisional director, banking, said: "There are an estimated eight million people aged 16-24 in the UK, of which approximately half are not in full-time education.  Unlike some banks, which only offer lifestyle benefits through their current accounts to students, the Flex-Zone is available to all customers between 16 and 24, helping them to make their money go that little bit further."

Nationwide customers who hold a FlexAccount with a debit card and use it as their main current account* could also qualify for better rates, discounted fees and access to exclusive products across Nationwide's range of financial products.
