Awful bank, stick clear

The selling points, terms and conditions only apply to you, they can lie, cheat, mislead, mess you about, but the selling point of their free forever account doesn't apply to them, maybe they need to look the word forever up in the dictionary Reviewed on: 12th December 2025

Avoid business account with Santander go elsewhere

1
Despite having held as business account with Santander for over 5 years I have to say the experience is dreadful. It's impossible to speak to he "right" department in one call despite phoning the number on the letter that they send. Once you do get answered which is normally after a 12 minute wait you are put through to a "verification" team who can't verify ANYTHING. Simple requests take an eternity and you get charged for the pleasure of being looked after by a team of incompetents. AVOID opening a business account with santander.

Not good customer services

I had a business current & savings accounts with Santander for years but they introduced a monthly fee this summer. I moved my accounts, asked to transfer all remaining moneys to my new account but they sent me a cheque instead. They can't even follow instruction! Reviewed on: 15th September 2025

I will be leaving before 1 october 2025

I have never had any real problems with Santander Business banking, apart from a few years ago when they tried to start charging people to have this kind of account. Fortunately, this was stopped and it remained free. This week I received a letter from them informing me that as from 1 October 2025 this account will be converted into a Classic account and incur a charge of £9.99 a month in order to "simplify their product range". I'm out! Reviewed on: 15th July 2025

Have tried to change signatories in a business account.

Have tried to change signatories in a business account. 14 months later no success despite proving everything they asked for. No business advisors in branches despite their “misleading” advertising. Have to fax documents to the business department from a branch. Documents going missing! Nobody acknowledges receipt and I had to keep calling for updates. A member of staff made a complaint on my behalf! Sorry how did she know how I wanted to frame my account? They got my name wrong on 2 occasions and refused to speak to me on the last phone call! Got a lawyer on to it and he emailed the CEO and the business and customer support teams. He was ignored by all! Disgusted! Reviewed on: 22nd February 2025

Steer Clear

This bank has froze my account several times, most recently on payday for the staff. It then takes hours to get this unlocked. I sent details required, they lose them then freeze the account again. Unbelievable . The also call with no ID and ask all your personal details? Other banks at least let you know who they are with some personal details. Reviewed on: 31st October 2024

Locked out of account, with no explanation

1
Both my husband and I were locked out of accounts. First my business accounts, then 2 weeks later our joint accounts. Bounced between service teams who knew nothing. The CEO's executive team did not even respond in the promised time frame and no one knew whey there was a lock. My husband had to provide rafts of business statements for a personal account (each one costing, as it needed his accountant to provide). Service was beyond appalling. Reviewed on: 5th October 2024

Not poor even more than poor service.

Don't use this bank, staff don't know even how to help the costumer . they only think people need their bank to use for there convince. They show only they have all power But not try to understand their costumer's issue. I suggest do not use this bank anymore. Reviewed on: 13th September 2024
