Bounce Back Loan Helpline

Due to huge demand and lack of resources, on November the 9th 2024, I will be changing the helpline number and making it available to Subscribers and those who have made a Donation only. I kept it free and open to everyone for as long as I could possibly afford to, but alas, I can no longer afford to do so. Therefore if you cannot afford to subscribe or donate and need a chat but have been putting off calling, please do so before that date. Those who have donated/subscribed to the website, I am here for you, as I have been for the last almost 5 years, give me a call any time. – Mike

You would have thought with the size of Santander they would have been happy to process as many Bounce Back Loans as possible, and open up their facility to as many SME’s as possible, however that was not the case.

In the first few weeks of the scheme they were overwhelmed with BBL applications, and many people did complain and had to wait an absolute age to finally get their application processed.

They were of course another bank that decided they were not going to accept any new customers, and as such they did not open their new bank account systems to new customers who could then go on to apply for a BBL with them for the entire life of the BBL scheme.
