Santander UK plc is a separate UK retail bank legal entity within the Banco Santander, S.A. group. Its official website lists personal and UK business accounts. Public information shows that a personal Everyday Current Account requires applicants to be at least 18 years old and permanently resident in the UK. Business applicants are also subject to UK incorporation, business-operation and relevant account holder residency conditions. There is no public basis for saying that overseas residents or foreign companies can apply; they should not be treated as eligible or as having had their applications accepted.
