Santander extends Zero current account eligibility

Wednesday, 12 January 2011 07:36

Customers who hold £10,000 or more in savings with Santander will now be able to make use of its fee-free Zero current account.

Previously, Zero - which rewards customers who use Santander as their main bank - was available to customers who have a mortgage or an investment product with Santander.

The new move extends the product's eligibility to savings customers and makes it an option for around 70 per cent of the UK's adult population.

"This account is unique in that it doesn't charge fees for being overdrawn, or for using ATMs overseas, or for making purchases outside the UK," said Nici Audhlam-Gardiner, Santander's banking director.
