Santander savings accounts fees

We aim to keep our charges to a minimum and we don’t like to surprise you with unexpected costs. However, some things that you may ask us to do will incur a charge. The table below shows you how much you’ll have to pay for some of the more frequent tasks. Fees for less frequently used services can be provided on request.

No charges are payable on children’s accounts or Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs).

These fees are effective from 1 May 2010 and are applicable to Santander savings account holders. If we vary these fees we will inform you through notices in our branches.
