Santander launches £200 current account switching offer AND free Kids Pass membership to help parents save this festive season

Santander UK is today (10 November 2025) launching two new offers to give new and existing customers a financial boost and help make their money go further ahead of the festive season.

 

From 10 November 2025, new and existing Santander customers can snap up:

• £200 when they switch to one of Santander’s eligible current accounts1

• A free 12-month Kids Pass membership2, worth £39.99, when they open any Santander savings account or Cash ISA

 

£200 Switching Offer

New and existing customers3 will be rewarded with £200 when they switch their current account through the Current Account Switch Service (CASS)4 to a Santander Everyday, Edge, Edge Up, Edge Explorer or Private (v2) account5.

To be eligible for this offer, customers must:

• Submit a switch request on or after 10 November 2025 and before the switcher offer is withdrawn;

• Complete a full switch (including closing their external account) within 60 days;

• Pay in at least £1,500 to their eligible Santander account within that period (via one or more payments); and

• Set up at least two active household Direct Debits (such as council tax, utilities, or broadband) on their new account.

Once eligibility has been confirmed, the £200 payment will be made directly into the Santander account within 30 days6.

 

Free Kids Pass Membership

Alongside the switcher offer, customers opening any Santander savings account or Cash ISA7 will receive a free 12-month Kids Pass membership, worth £39.99.

The membership gives families access to a wide range of discounts on days out, cinema trips, restaurants and holiday activities – helping make family fun more affordable throughout the festive season and beyond. Whether its a free day out at a local attraction, a cheap activity for the kids to do during the Christmas holidays, or a low-cost date night for Mum and Dad, the Kids Pass offers great value on experiences for everyone to enjoy.

 

Anthony Warrington, Head of Current Accounts at Santander UK, said: “Christmas is fast approaching, and we know that this time of year can really stretch people’s finances, with shopping, social plans and rising household costs all adding up. These two new offers are our way of giving a little something back to our customers - whether that’s £200 for switching or saving on a festive day out with the family. It’s all about helping customers make their money go further and enjoy the festive season without the extra worry.”
