Hi,

This from Santander's website :-

Current account
We’re sorry to hear that you are thinking about closing your current account. If your existing account is not meeting your needs, please pop into one of our branches to discuss this with an advisor in more detail. We may have an alternative account that will be more suitable for you – please visit your local branch to find out more and one of our advisors will be happy to help.

To close an account by post
To close a Santander Account by post, please write to the following address:

If writing to Santander please enclose the following:
