Making Changes to Memember

 

Our Options, Benefits and Alternatives

If  you’re considering cancelling or changing your Advance Union membership. Whether you’ve left Santander, moved into a new role, or your circumstances have simply changed, we want to make sure you have all the information you need before making a final decision.

Many members don’t realise that you can continue to receive support, advice, and protection even after leaving Santander. We offer several flexible membership types designed to keep you connected—whatever your next step looks like.

Please take a moment to explore your options below. If you still wish to cancel afterwards, you can of course do so.


Stay Protected as an Ordinary Member – £8.90 per month

If you’re still employed by Santander or an associated company, remaining an Ordinary Member gives you the highest level of protection and support we offer, including:

  • Full collective and individual representation at all stages
  • Comprehensive employment rights advice
  • Access to specialist reps familiar with Santander policies and processes
  • Legal support, workplace advocacy, and ongoing case management
  • Regular updates, resources, and member benefits

For many members, the reassurance of dedicated workplace support—especially during organisational change—is the key reason they choose to stay. Please support each other at work and stay part of our important community to look after each other.


Option 1: Associate Membership – £6.70 per month

Ideal if you’re moving to a new employer

If you’ve taken a role outside Santander but still want professional employment advice, this membership gives you:

  • Ongoing employment rights advice for your new job
  • Remote representation if you ever need it
  • Legal support in line with Ordinary Members
  • Continued access to the union’s core resources and services

It’s a simple, low‑cost way to keep expert guidance at your side as you take your next step.


Option 2: Unemployed / Between Roles/Retired Membership – £2.00 per month

Perfect for anyone between jobs, self‑employed, or retired

This reduced‑rate membership allows you to stay connected and protected while your circumstances settle. You’ll still receive:

  • Access to all membership benefits
  • Ongoing advice and tailored support
  • A low‑cost way to maintain your union membership and receive updated and communications.
