Our take

Santander serves 14 million UK customers as a retail and commercial bank. Despite a mixed history, including issues with call centre service, mis-selling PPI, and anti-money laundering control failures between 2012 and 2017, Santander continues to thrive by focusing on innovation, digitalisation, and sustainable, responsible growth.

Recently, Santander has enhanced its digital and mobile services to meet the needs of modern banking customers. This includes the My Home Manager app, which provides mortgage customers with a centralised platform for their information, and increased fraud alerts to protect less digitally literate customers as they transition online. These efforts aim to connect physical and digital channels for a seamless customer experience, positioning Santander to better compete against digital banks like Monzo and Starling.

In addition to these digital advancements, Santander has joined forces with Iberpay in Spain to become inaugural participants in the European Payments Council’s One-Leg Out Cross-border Transactions Instant Scheme (OCT Inst). This initiative is set to introduce global instant transfers, further emphasising Santander's commitment to innovation and enhancing its service offerings in the digital banking landscape.
