- 3. We suggest that you add ‘customerservices@santander.co.uk' to your email contacts. This should help prevent our emails to you being filtered out by your internet service provider.

- 2. This email will either be to confirm that your account is opened, or to ask you to provide some proof of ID before we can open your account. Click here to find out why we need to see this information.
- 3. Once your account is open we will link your new account to your existing card / eBanking so that you can transact straight away. If you are new to Santander eBanking, or simply requested a new card for your savings account, we will post your eBanking credentials and new card to the address you provided within 7 – 10 working days of your welcome email.
AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and shows what the interest would be if we paid interest and added it to your account each year. The gross rate is the interest rate we pay before income tax is taken off. Rates may change and we pay interest each month or year.
