Mastercard have confirmed that from the start of October 2018, Santander will be issuing both business and consumer Debit Mastercards in the UK. You’ll find details of these new cards in the table below.

Action Required
If you own your terminals, rent them from a third party or use a Payment Service Provider to accept payments online, you must contact your supplier to get them to upgrade your equipment so you can accept these cards by 1st October 2018.
Doing this will protect you from loss of business due to being unable to accept transactions from cardholders that have cards issued in the new BIN ranges. It’ll also help prevent you from receiving any operational fines for not being able to accept the new cards.
If you have any queries regarding this change, please contact your Relationship Manager or call 0345 702 3344*, selecting the option for ‘all other enquiries’.
