Santander has officially opened its new campus based facility as part of its commitment to support students throughout the UK. The new Santander branch was opened by Luis Juste, Director of Santander Universities UK, Professor Dame Julia King, Vice-Chancellor of Aston University and Philip Rumjahn, Branch Manager, last month. The branch offers full banking services to students, staff and the general public.

The branch opening builds on the existing partnership between Santander Universities and Aston University put in place in May 2012. The agreement offers the University access to funding for a wide range of scholarships, travel mobility grants, awards, research and entrepreneurial activities as well as 20 part-funded internship opportunities with local SMEs each year.
