Banking at your Post Office

If this is your first time ordering checks from Santander Bank or if you need to change the information on your checks (i.e., new address, phone number, name, etc.), you will need to visit a branch location or call to speak with one of our banking representatives at 877‑768‑2265 between the hours of 8 a.m. – 8 p.m., ET, 7 days a week. If the name doesn’t match, we'll tell you, and ask you to contact the person or organisation you’re trying to pay. We can’t check the account If the type of account doesn’t support the checks or there’s a technical issue we’ll tell you. Not all banks are participating in the scheme straight away so. Payment by Cheque. Please send your cheque to: Santander Consumer Finance Santander House 86 Station Road Redhill Surrey RH1 1SR. Please make your cheque payable to Santander Consumer (UK) plc. To ensure your payment gets allocated to the correct agreement please put your agreement number on the reverse of the cheque.

The opening hours, services and transaction limits will be different for each Post Office, so please check your local branch for more information.

You’ll need to contact us to pre-order the paying-in slips and deposit envelopes. Simply use our automated telephone service and ask for new deposit envelopes. These can take up to 7-10 working days to reach you.

How long do the cheques take to clear?
For cheques paid into your account on a working day (if they aren’t returned to us unpaid), you'll get the funds by midnight two working days later. This is because it takes longer for us to process cheques through the Post Office.
