Very helpful staff

Bev has been helping my brother and me through the power of attorney process for our mother and then after Mum's death with advice and help over Mum's Santander accounts.
Nothing was too much trouble. She has been attentive and patient throughout.

Re investing

I was looking to re invest savings held in my Santander account. When I called into my branch without an appointment I was seen promptly . The staff member was courteous and helpful.
A range of options were described to me and the process of transferring funds was very easy.

Additional Account

Went to the work cafe for a coffee with a friend and we’d recently opened accounts at Santander Intl. I looked at the website and we were comparing interest rates to our other bank where I decided I’d ask to have an instant saver account. Went to the counter and saw Bev who opened the account there and then. Bev could see my easy saver interest was being paid into my Gold account and asked if I wanted it redirected to the new instant saver account or to keep it as it was. I asked her to switch it to the saver account. She advised she’d have to have that request authorised but that she’d ensure it was done the same day. My new account was showing in my app and I’d had confirmation the interest had already been switched by the time I got back to the car! Outstanding service and so glad I opened accounts with Santander Int’l
