Funding information

How Santander UK is funded

Santander UK primarily generates its funding and liquidity through:

  • UK retail and corporate deposits; and
  • its own debt programmes and facilities in the wholesale markets.

As a Prudential Regulatory Authority (PRA) regulated group, the Santander UK group is expected to satisfy the PRA liquidity and capital requirements on a standalone basis. This means we have to prove to the PRA we can withstand liquidity and capital stress tests.

Sources and uses of wholesale funding

We have a strong wholesale funding investor base, diversified across product types and geographies. Through the wholesale markets we have active relationships in many sectors including banks, other financial institutions, corporates and investment funds.

We access the wholesale funding markets through Santander UK Group Holdings plc for subordinated debt and longer dated senior unsecured debt, through Santander UK plc for shorter dated senior unsecured debt, structured notes, short term funding, Covered Bonds and through securitisations of certain assets of the Santander UK group’s operating subsidiaries.
