Alliance & Leicester

The group formerly known as A&L was a UK bank until May 2010 then rebranded all branches as Santander UK, but the international branch residing in the Isle of Man retains the A&L name, only it runs under the Santander umbrella.
Being a former customer of this branch, I had neglected to close business here when using Alliance & Leicester a few years ago and recently followed up leads that I may still have a valid but historic account?
If you need to do the same simply follow the instructions on Martin Lewis website — how to find forgotten bank accounts, enter what details you have, then wait for any confirmation. Then get to your branch to secure funds.
On entering this compact branch, located opposite St. John’s at the West end of Princes Street, you will probably be greeted by a nice girl on reception, who helps you out and within ten minutes of confirming details, your located account is either transferred or closed.
The remaining funds, which you might received if not all that much, may get you lunch and a coffee. However its not a next day service, but it might just reunite you with long lost wonga!
