How To Contact Santander Bank If You Have Trouble With Your Account

If you need assistance with your account, Santander’s customer service number is 877-768-2265.

Santander’s website also offers a form where you can send general inquiries to the bank. Keep in mind that you should avoid including your account number, Social Security number or any other sensitive personal details in your message.

What Are the Benefits of Online Banking?

Online banking streamlines a lot of processes that used to require visiting a branch. You can use online banking to open a new account, transfer money, set up utility payments and handle other tasks.

There are, of course, limitations with online banking. You need an internet connection, for one thing, and you’re also at the mercy of bank servers. But given how ubiquitous digital banking services have become, it’s fair to say the benefits outweigh the negatives.
