Santander has announced a shake-up for banking and corporate customers, which is set to benefit millions.

The high street bank announced this week a new partnership with Worldpay, which it describes as "a global leader in payments technology and solutions."

The link-up will enable Santander Business Banking and Corporate and Commercial Banking (CCB) customers to access Worldpay services.

This includes best-in-class e-commerce capabilities and POS (point-of-sale) solutions. The pair say they have joined forces to provide better merchant services for customers, using advanced digital technology, according to BirminghamLive.

The partnership will offer Santander customers secure, scalable and efficient merchant payment solutions. Banking customers will be able to benefit from new sale, e-commerce and integrated payment needs.

Customers will also benefit from dedicated e-commerce and implementation consultants on hand to offer support and provide value added services to meet their needs, Santander has said.

Gerry Davies, Payments Commercial Director, Santander UK, said: “At Santander, we are committed to providing the best solutions to help our customers prosper.
