Stress free account opening…

My wife and I wanted to open current accounts and a savings account at the Douglas office. Arranging the appointment was easy, and it was so refreshing in 2026 to be able to sit opposite a real person.
Daisy was friendly, knowledgeable and professional throughout - she explained everything thoroughly and answered all of our questions, and didn’t engage in any form of hard-sell. Presenting id documents like passport and driving licence is made so much easier when you can attend in person.
The whole process was smooth and totally stress free - and we came away with everything we wanted. Mission accomplished, it’s 5 Stars from us, thank you.

Anniemarie was amazing

Anniemarie was amazing. Very good customer service. Went to the Santander Cafe around lunch time and she was very good. Had some cash in the Gold account and she suggested having the cash in a savings account. This was the first time an officer explained to me this product existed. Well done Annmarie, you are amazing.

Excellent professional service I thought was lost...

The whole process of opening an account and onboarding at Santander International has been excellent: straightfoirward, smooth, productive and bureacratic free. Communications (email/text/app) have been productive. The represenatives were happy to have a live discussion when needed. In short a level of prfoessionalism I thought was lost. Special thanks to Simon B, Jason O as well as Anu K.
