Supporting the needs of all our customers
If you have a current account with us, the information below shows the key ways we can support you when you need us.
Our specialist teams can support you when you're dealing with life events you don't expect.
Our Financial Support team is trained to help if your situation changes, say you get ill or lose your job. It can offer you help to budget and manage your accounts.
Money worries? Our Collection team can help you make arrangements to pay off debt in a way you can afford. It can connect you with specialist debt advice services, like the Money Advice Service, PayPlan, and StepChange. Money worries for information and guidance.
Our Bereavement Service offers support after someone you love dies. You can tell us they've died by phone, or in a Santander branch.
Getting cash
All Santander cash machines work with contactless cards. To draw cash, you just tap your card and enter your personal identification number (PIN). They also have voice guidance to help you if your vision is impaired. Just plug in your headphones and Santander will talk you through your transaction. Santander will also give you the choice to turn the screen off.
Accessing information
We can write to you in Braille, in large print and on coloured paper.
You can set up free text and email alerts to help you stay up-to-date with what’s happening on your account. This may help you to avoid charges and stay on top of your bills.
Letting someone else help you use your account
We can support you to set up a Power of Attorney or deputy on your account. This would allow someone you trust to manage your finances on your behalf. Visit our Power of Attorney page for more information.
Our contact centre can help deal with unexpected life events. You can also contact us by sending a secure message through online banking. Or, use our automated telephony service to get account balances without having to speak to someone.
If you think you’ve been a victim of fraud, you can call us 24/7 on our emergency helpline.
