I Have Lost My Santander Bank Card And I Need To Withdraw £2000 Today. Would I Be Able To Do This In A Branch With Just My Driving Licence

i hold a business account and a current acount with santander

I cannot see the bank letting him withdraw that amount... they usually ask you to call the day before if you want to withdraw a large amount.
I would have just called the bank rather then sign up to an online Q&A site?

[grasscarp]

why do you keep a million pounds in a current account Ivan?

[Obiter]

Can you not just cash a cheque? Take ID of course.

[Peter Pedant]

God I would be more worried about someone else doing it with the card only

I think you have to do the experiment

[boxtops]

Come on Ivan, come back and tell us what happened!

[Tilly2]

Perhaps the million's in the business account, grassy.

Googling ivan1987 comes up with a lot of links - I wonder if he's one of those?

The simple answer is yes! The only issue you may have is £2000 may well be over their 'without notice' limit. I.e you may need to give them 24hrs notice so that they have the cash ready for you. You could be faced with this issue even if you turned up with your card. With Santander, you do not need your bank card to deposit, withdraw or even close an account, providing you have photo I.D
I am 100% sure that you will be able to withdraw the funds, however if for any reason you cannot, you will be able to make a chaps payment to another bank account in the bank using just your driving licence. Maybe ask a friend or relative if they wouldn't mind you transferring them the cash and then get them to withdraw it for you. Though again, you won't even need to resort to that.
