Santander UK is preparing for further job cuts following a 38% decline in profits and ongoing cost-cutting measures. The bank, already having reduced its workforce to 18,000, continues to face challenges attributed to a £295 million provision for a motor finance commission scandal. This issue, potentially costing the banking sector around £44 billion, casts doubt on the bank's stability despite claims of the UK being a core market. The financial difficulties have sparked speculation of a possible sale of its UK operations amid rising regulatory challenges.
The looming motor finance commission scandal is at the center of Santander's challenges and could result in significant financial impacts on the bank and others involved.
Santander UK’s focus on simplification and automation is likely to lead to further headcount reductions by 2025, sparking fears of more job losses.
