Review of the Santander, Loan:

Unfriendly company

When I was looking for a loan they gave the impression that they are the bank that likes to say no straight away just because you don't bank with them Reviewed on: 6th June 2017

Won over

Key customer needs ticked. If a company can make a process easy, they will win you over. Job done Reviewed on: 22nd June 2017

Not bad at all!!!

Applied online while sat in car showroom and within 5 minutes I was accepted. Simple enough form done while I had a cuppa and money was mine before my tea went cold. Was so happy I had another biscuit! Reviewed on: 11th June 2017

Caravan Finance

The on line process took several days to get approved then my signed agreement was not received delaying my purchase. Overall dissapointing compared to another loan company. Reviewed on: 7th June 2017

Fast efficient and low interest

I rang santander to apply for a personal loan on a Tuesday evening. My documents arrived on the Thursday and returned the same day. The money was in my account by lunchtime on Friday. Amazing service Reviewed on: 6th June 2017

Decent service

Overall loan process could be quicker. Reviewed on: 8th May 2017

Personal loan experience

We have had a loan from Santander for coming up to 4 1/2 years. The application process was simple, decision was quick and we felt at the time we had a good deal. We could probably get a better rate now, however the loan finishes soon so we haven't looked around to switch loans, repayment penalties would be highly too. We would get another loan from Santander and would recommend them too. Reviewed on: 7th May 2017

Great Rate

£10,000 loan at a very low rate... Reviewed on: 4th April 2017

Great rate

You can't get better than a 0% interest rate for a personal loan buy Santander have put the cherry on the cake by providing a really good (I.e. light touch) level of communication. I haven't been bombarded by post or emails which makes a pleasant change Reviewed on: 21st April 2016

Sound business sense

They wouldn't lend me any money, but then again, I wouldn't lend me any money either - so it looks like the banks know their stuff Reviewed on: 1st February 2016
