Nathan Bostock, CEO of Santander UK, said:
"Our assessment is that membership of a reformed EU is in the best interests of customers, whereas leaving the EU would create significant uncertainties which will have a negative effect on businesses and the economy. We respect this is a decision for voters and that our customers and employees will have their own views. Supporting them through any outcome and continuing to invest in and grow our business will be our priority."
