Am sure you used to be able to do this. Can you still? If so, how?
2 current accounts are had - exact same. Easier to tell them apart if you can rename one of them so you don't have to keep checking the account number. It's just visually quicker.
Yes, I did search first: https://retail.santander.co.uk/Estatico/ALP_EBAN_Templates/Html/help00000001.html#:~:text=If you click the 'Add,is more meaningful to you.
"If you click the 'Add, remove or rename an account' link you will be taken to the 'Change online settings' page where you can choose which accounts you see on this page. You can also give your account a description (or 'nickname') that is more meaningful to you. "
I don't know if that is out of date or I'm just being blind. I can't see it.
