From this month Santander UK will be introducing a new cashback deal for its 123, 123 Lite, Select and Private current account customers. New and existing Santander life protection1 policyholders will be eligible to receive two per cent cashback on premiums paid by direct debit from their Santander current account2.

The new cashback category further strengthens those already available on these current accounts:

  • one per cent:
on water and council tax bills;
on the first £1,000 paid towards a Santander monthly
residential mortgage payment.
  • two per cent:
on gas and electricity bills;
on Santander home insurance premiums (policies 
administered and underwritten by Aviva Insurance Limited);
on Santander life protection premiums (policies administered
 and underwritten by Aviva Life & Pensions UK Limited).
  • three per cent:
on mobile and home phone bills, broadband and paid for TV
packages.

Santander’s Life Protection products include a range of decreasing, increasing and level term cover as well as critical illness and over 50s protection.

Matt Hall, Santander UK Director of Banking and Unsecured Credit said: “We are always looking at ways to increase the value we give our customers and help them make more of their money. Life protection is such an important part of family financial planning so it’s great to be able to give a little back with this new cashback category.”
