Santander for Intermediaries has unveiled plans to pay a 0.2% proc fee on retention business from March.

Brad Fordham, managing director of Santander for Intermediaries, said “After a successful pilot run last year with London & Country, I am delighted to announce plans to pay procuration fees on retention business, intermediaries play a key role in what we do and we look forward to working even more closely together in 2017 and beyond.”

Santander said it will work closely with key account set over the coming months to ensure a robust procuration fee payment solution is implemented efficiently.

Andrew Montlake, director at Coreco, said: “It’s positive to see Santander’s commitment to the intermediary market.
