SANTANDER FINANCIAL SERVICES PLC is a Public Limited Company registered in United Kingdom under 02338548, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 24 January 1989 and lists its registered address as LONDON, United Kingdom. 3 shareholders are on record for SANTANDER FINANCIAL SERVICES PLC, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Companies House and was last updated on 9 October 2026.

Shareholders

3

Three shareholders are currently on record for SANTANDER FINANCIAL SERVICES PLC, held on the Confirmation Statement (CS01), filed under the Companies Act 2006.

The largest of these is SANTANDER UK GROUP HOLDINGS PLC, holding 100% — a majority holding — followed by SANTANDER UK GROUP HOLDINGS PLC at 0%; the remaining 1 shareholder shown holds smaller stakes.

Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

Group Structure

SANTANDER FINANCIAL SERVICES PLC sits 3 levels below its ultimate parent, BANCO SANTANDER SA, registered in Spain. 5 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 1 jurisdiction. The full chain up to BANCO SANTANDER SA is derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions; no link in it is independently corroborated by SANTANDER FINANCIAL SERVICES PLC's own shareholder record. Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.

Those 5 subsidiaries span United Kingdom jurisdiction, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear.
