  • Current accounts and salary inflows

    Your Santander UK current account, with salary credits tagged and outflows auto-categorised on the same taxonomy as your other banks.

  • Savings, deposits and pots

    Easy-access savings, fixed-term deposits and goal-based pots offered by Santander UK are read alongside the current account so the full balance is never split.

  • Cards and recurring spend

    Debit-card and credit-card transactions are auto-categorised, with card-on-file subscriptions detected as recurring monthly spend.

  • Standing orders and direct debits

    Mortgage payments, rent, utilities and SEPA direct debits hitting your Santander UK account are detected so non-discretionary outflows are clear month-on-month.

  • Current accounts

    Read by Bank AI

    Read-only view of your daily spending account: balance, transactions, IBAN. Bank AI never moves the money - it stays in the bank.

  • Savings accounts

    Read by Bank AI

    Easy-access savings, vaults, fixed-term deposits and pots are read alongside the current account so the full balance picture is never split.

  • Joint accounts

    Read by Bank AI

    Joint accounts are read for every co-holder who connects the bank under their own consent - each member sees the same balances and transactions.

  • Business accounts

    Read by Bank AI

    Where the bank exposes business / SME / freelancer accounts via PSD2, they are read alongside personal accounts and tagged separately for clean reporting.

  • Multi-currency balances

    Not yet supported

    Multi-currency wallets surface every currency you hold separately, with FX rates applied so home-currency net worth stays accurate.

  • Debit and credit cards

    Read by Bank AI

Does Bank AI move money on my Santander UK account?

No. Bank AI is read-only by design. Transfers, payments and standing orders continue to happen inside Santander UK. Bank AI surfaces balances, transactions and recurring totals; every action remains under your control inside the Santander UK app.

How does Bank AI connect to Santander UK?

Santander UK exposes account data via PSD2. Bank AI uses licensed Account Information Service Providers (AISPs) to read balances, transactions and standing orders; Strong Customer Authentication is enforced every 90 days as the rules require.

Is Santander UK the same as Banco Santander in Spain?

Santander UK plc is a UK ring-fenced bank under Banco Santander group ownership but with its own banking licence and customer base. Bank AI reads each country entity as its own connection.

Does Bank AI surface my Santander 1|2|3 and Edge accounts?

Yes. The connection is at account level - 1|2|3, Edge and other variants are read identically. Monthly fees and cashback flows are tagged as recurring outflows / inflows.

What about my Santander UK Cash ISA and Stocks & Shares ISA?

Cash ISA balances are read as distinct sub-balances. Where Santander UK exposes Stocks & Shares ISA holdings via Open Banking, positions are surfaced alongside the cash leg.

What happens if Santander UK raises a connectivity error?

PSD2 connections occasionally require re-authentication (the 90-day SCA refresh) or fail because of a Santander UK-side maintenance window. Bank AI shows a clear status pill on the connection and prompts you to re-authenticate without losing any of your data.
