Nationwide paid its chief executive total remuneration of £1.7m last year.
Graham Beale received a basic salary of £575,000 plus a pension allowance of £78,000 in the financial year ended April 4 2008.
He also received annual performance pay of £644,000 plus a £357,000 payment under Nationwide’s medium term performance plan and was given benefits with a value of £25,000.
Beale was finance director at Nationwide for four years before stepping up to the top job last year. His new remuneration is almost double the £784,000 package he received in the previous financial year.
