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.

Daisy - Santander work cafe

I recently went into the Santander Work Café in Douglas after I’d been struggling to get the right type of bank account opened, and Daisy was honestly so helpful. She was an absolute wealth of information, explained everything really clearly and did all the paperwork with me, which made the whole process so much easier than I’d expected.

She also took the time to tell me all about the Work Café itself and the free workspaces that are available to use, which I genuinely had no idea about and will definitely make use of in the future.

Such a lovely experience from start to finish. Daisy was friendly, knowledgeable and couldn’t have been more helpful. It’s so nice to actually come away from a bank feeling like someone has properly taken the time to help you. Thank you Daisy! 😊

A REAL PERSON!

I looked into my Gold account online and the interest rate was zero so I wanted more information about options to generate interest. I phoned and spoke to Anu who was very helpful and informative and who sorted the best option immediately. Even though I bank online it's a huge asset to be able to speak easily to an accounts manager without having to go via Mars as happens in other banks. Job done and I'm a happy customer.

First time buyer experience

I had a mortgage appointment with Hannah as a first-time buyer and was really pleased with the experience. Hannah was very informative and explained everything clearly, which made the whole process feel much less daunting. She was friendly, professional, and kept the appointment relaxed and comfortable. I would definitely recommend Hannah to other first-time buyers.

I emailed the Santander team and Anne-Marie Clucas late at night and she emailed back first thing the following morning to say we had the room for an extended period of time and it was all booked with times and where to go.
Fantastic service and we were able to fulfil what we needed to do.
