santander

I was receiving Nigerian-style spam to my santander@ e-mail address, but Santander ( a big Eurobank ) denied that they had leaked the address.

My wife still gets redirected to that page from retail.santander.co.uk on entering her customer number.

Private banks like santander or BBV are not that exposed to the construction bubble, they are not the ones that need a bailout.

Nope, I went to abbey national (it's called santander now I think) and I get free business banking for life.

I'm gradually closing my Santander accounts, I just don't trust their IT systems and processes.

Whereas Santander only offers it at certain chain stores.

I have a bank account with Santander in the UK.

Ha, that's a laugh given the first two UK banks with whom I dealt ( Santander and Ulster Bank ) refused to transfer my money, from my UK accounts, to Bitstamp's account in Slovenia.

In that case, it's not very difficult: Bilbao is a better port than Santander by a significant margin, drastically better communications to Madrid and France, both road and rail, and more natural resources.

Santander use the "if you don't recognise the picture above then don't login" method which is stupid as if people don't login regularly then they will forget what picture they choose and login anyway.

Given the level of effort required to find somebody at the Santander ferry port to even stamp your passport, it’s unlikely that anybody is conducting a multi-month surveillance of your AirBnB “office” up in the hills above the Cote de Azur.

Quick tangential recommendation for those interested in ancient history: If you're ever in northern Spain, check out Santander's Archaeological Museum.

Santander UK give 3% on fuel, 2% on department stores and 1% on household bills.

We use Santander's platform to process credit card payments and pay just under 0.7%.
