How to Get a Santander Refund on Your Own

The process of getting a refund from Santander is a bit complex, as you didn't make a purchase from Santander themselves, you were just using one of their cards. Before contacting their customer service to try and get a refund by yourself, Santander suggests that you contact the merchant directly to see if they can provide the refund and/or the correct item/service to make the situation right. If this doesn't work, make sure that the transaction qualifies to receive a refund or chargeback from Santander.

Your purchase is NOT eligible if:

1. The dispute is with a Santander ATM, but you didn't use a Santander card during the transaction.
2. The goods or services purchased are still within delivery timescales, meaning you could potentially still receive them.
3. The transaction is pending and doesn't appear on your card statement yet.
4. It's been more than 120 days since the transaction was made (some exceptions for specific circumstances).

To get a Santander refund by yourself, there are several different methods you can use, including:

• Chatting with Santander customer service on their website.
• Visiting a banker in person at your local branch.
• Through your Online Banking account.
• Calling Santander customer service at 0800 9 123 123. Line is open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week.

When you make your claim, you'll need to provide several items of proof, usually including things like the proof of purchase, the amount charged to the card, and a detailed description of your order and any issues it had. You'll also need to show that you attempted to resolve the problem with the merchant directly but were unsuccessful.

Here’s a summary of the ways you can get a Santander Refund:

How Long Will It Take to Receive My Santander Refund?

The duration of time between your refund request and the moment funds are returned to your original payment method differs depending on where you're getting the refund from. Details for each potential situation are listed below.

Refund From Merchant

If you're able to receive a refund directly from the merchant, it will take up to 4-5 business days for the money to appear back to your original form of payment. Any issues or questions should be addressed with the merchant, as the refund is coming from them and not from Santander as a chargeback.

Refund From Santander

If you're receiving the refund from Santander, it may take a bit longer to get the money back on your original payment method. Refunds for credit and debit cards can take up to 7-10 business days.
