The process for setting up the ISA was long winded,... The process for setting up the ISA was long winded, and the call centre did not alwats help. It took a long time for them to get the account opened. Reviewed on: 15th September 2025

Mismanaging your money

2
I opened my second Santander ISA, having been a regular saver into my home savers issue 1 account. I opened the product over the phone after enquiring in my local branch. After discussing all products open to me with an advisor, I my decision at home. However, i now wish to close the account and put the funds into my current account as part of a house deposit I am due to pay on a recent purchase. Despite my loyalty to Santander I am encountering problems in doing so. I am being pushed into a mortgage interview I do not want to have. I already have a mortgage in place and are near exchange, but this is falling on deaf ears. I have also only now discovered it is a postal isa and thus am apparently required to apply in writing to get the money. It is a relatively small amount I wish to have access to and I am becoming exasperated by the whole process. I am also being sent endless volumes of account summaries and current balances on all of my accounts. There are Santander letters everywhere in my house! Reviewed on: 29th April 2015

MOUNTAINS OF PAPER!

I opened a Santander ISA accounts a few years ago (online). Although I have never deposited any funds into this account I seem to be getting a high volume of paper from them...telling me my balance is £0, or that rates are going down etc...surely in this digital age, there's a better way of communicating with me!
