Customers with Santander who have £10,000 or more in savings 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 only available to customers who have a mortgage or an investment product with Santander. With this new move, the product's eligibility extends to to savings customers and makes it an option for almost 70 per cent of the UK's adult population.
Nici Audhlam-Gardiner, banking director at Santander, said: "If you're one of the millions of people who already has a mortgage, investment or savings over £10,000 with Santander then you should see what Zero can offer you as a loyal customer and if you switch your current account to Zero, we'll give you £100. 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."
