About the scheme

About the scheme

The Santander (UK) Group Pension Scheme looks after the DB benefits you’ve built up whilst working. It’s managed by a Board of Trustees which is made up of representatives that were appointed by the Company and nominated by the members.

The Trustees support the running of the Scheme and they must always act in the best interests of all Scheme members and their beneficiaries. The Trustee’s mission is to make sure payments of all benefits are paid correctly and at the right time.
