How to Find Santander ATMs
Santander has approximately 2,000 ATMs across the Northeast through its own network and partner ATMs. Use the ATM locator at santanderbank.com or in the Santander mobile app. Filter by “Santander ATM” to avoid partner ATMs that may charge a surcharge.
How to Request a Temporary ATM Limit Increase
- Call Santander customer service at 1-877-768-2265
- Provide your account information and reason for the increase
- Specify the date range and amount needed
- Temporary increases typically last 1–7 days
For large cash needs, a domestic wire transfer may be more practical than raising the ATM limit.
