What to know about Santander claims

Santander Consumer Finance is the motor finance arm of Santander UK. Agreements arranged through dealerships during the review period may have involved discretionary commission arrangements between the dealer and the lender. Santander is one of the lenders in scope for the FCA motor finance redress scheme.

Santander has set aside £640 million for motor finance redress. Set aside across three separate provisions: an initial £295 million, increased by £166 million in February 2026, and a further £179 million following PS26/3 publication in March/April 2026. Santander holds approximately 9.4% of the UK motor finance market.

No Supreme Court involvement. Santander accepted the FCA scheme in late April 2026, describing the decision as "finely balanced", it had previously called on the government to intervene in the scheme and delayed publication of its Q3 2025 financial results due to uncertainty.

Santander is one of the UK's largest motor finance lenders and is considered to have had significant DCA exposure across its book during the period before the FCA ban in January 2021.

Current scheme status
