Santander Ups Current-Account Lures With £100 Amazon Voucher and £200 Switch Bonus

The lender is targeting new customers with richer sign-up rewards during a stepped-up battle for current accounts.

Overview

  • New customers can get a £100 Amazon voucher without switching by opening a qualifying Santander current account via comparison-site links and making 30 debit-card transactions within 60 days.
  • The voucher deal requires keeping the account open, is limited to one per person, involves a credit check, and provides a claim link from 12 February 2026.
  • A separate £200 reward is available to those who switch using the Current Account Switch Service after paying in at least £1,500 and setting up two direct debits within 60 days, with payment made within a month of qualifying.
  • Eligible accounts include Everyday, Edge, Edge Up, Edge Explorer and Private (v2), with only Everyday free and some tiers charging up to about £17 per month.
  • Pairing the £200 switch bonus with Edge benefits could deliver up to £560 before fees (about £524 after the £36 annual charge), as experts call Santander’s package notably competitive against rival bank offers.
