On the 11th January 2010 Abbey National plc, which included the Bradford & Bingley savings business, changed its name to Santander UK plc. We now operate under the brand name of Santander
At Santander our strength and stability is built on the relationship we have with our customers and we hope that you will enjoy the benefits that this relationship brings.
We are committed to offering a better service for all our customers as well as innovative, great value products – after all we know that the happier you are, the more likely you are to keep your business with us.
Together. We are Santander.
Santander’s banking history stretches back over 150 years. Today the Santander Group has 13,696 branches, more than any other international bank, and over 90 million customers worldwide.
Is Santander a safe place to bank?Absolutely. We’re part of the Santander Group, one of the world’s most successful banks. The Group’s success comes from having firm banking principles; a retail banking focus, a prudent approach to lending, maintaining sensible capital ratios and spreading risk across geographical areas. And it’s thanks to this stability that we are helping to build a secure future for all our customers.
Do I need to do anything?We have been working hard behind the scenes integrating all of our systems. If you are an existing customer your accounts will already have switched or be in the process of switching over to Santander. Going forward the correspondence you receive regarding your products or accounts will be from Santander.
What does the change mean for me?We are now better placed than ever before to offer you market leading products and services. Plus, now that Santander has brought together all the previous Abbey and Bradford & Bingley branches, you can enjoy access to over 1,000 branches across the UK.
Are there any more changes planned?Yes. Alliance & Leicester is part of the Santander Group and later in 2010 they will complete their transition to Santander, giving you access to over 1,300 branches across the UK.
