4. SANTANDER BANK COMPLAINTS

Santander UK takes customer complaints very seriously and has a very clear process flow to ensure their efficient handling.

Customers should begin the complaint process by calling the toll-free freephone number 0800 171 2171 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday to Friday and 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday. Alternatively, customers may also mail a hardcopy of their complaint to Santander UK plc, PO Box 1125, Bradford, BD1 9PG.

Every complaint, whether it’s by phone or letter, should include your name, address and account details.

Customers must also remember to include their contact details as well as the best time to contact them.

Santander UK seeks to resolve all complaints within 15 working days of receipt. If they are unable to do so, the bank will inform you in writing. The letter/e-mail will also include the expected time they will get in touch with you again, as well as the name and contact number of the officer in charge of your complaint.

If Santander UK is unable to resolve your complaint within 56 days of receipt, or if you dissatisfied with how the handled the complaint, you have the option of escalating your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

The Ombudsman is an independent agency tasked by the government to mediate conflicts between citizens and financial institutions. While banks are not legally obligated to accept recommendations made by the Ombudsman, they rarely decline them.

• E-mail: complaint.info@financial-ombudsman.org.uk

• Telephone: 0800 0 234 567

• Post: Financial Ombudsman Service, Exchange Tower, London E14 9SR

5. DEALING WITH SANTANDER BANK CUSTOMER SERVICES

Santander UK’s customer services call centre can be reached at 0800 9 123 123 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday to Friday and 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday.

As one of the country’s largest financial institutions, Santander’s call centre receive thousands of calls each day. To minimise the aggravation and waiting time, here are a few suggestions you should consider.

• Don’t call between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. or 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. These hours are considered peak hours because a large number of customers tend to call during this period. In addition, representatives would start to go on rotating lunch breaks between one and three, so the number of staff of duty will decrease. The best time to call Santander’s customer service is between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m., and between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m.

• Write down the nature of your complaint on a piece of paper. Otherwise, there is a good chance you might miss out on an important detail which could delay the resolution of your complaint.

• Prepare supporting documents before picking up the call. Do not start running around looking for them when you are in the middle of a conversation. If your line is disconnected, you would have to start all over again. By having the documents in place, you will always be in control of the conversation.
