Sainsbury's Bank plc

Sainsbury's Bank plc was the financial services arm of Sainsbury's, the UK supermarket chain. It offered a range of products including credit cards, loans, savings, travel money, and insurance to Sainsbury's customers and the wider public.

In May 2025, the core banking business of Sainsbury's Bank was transferred to NatWest Group. This followed a period in which Sainsbury's reviewed its financial services offering and ultimately decided to exit retail banking.

After the transfer, Sainsbury's Bank retained some financial products, most notably its credit cards. These may continue to be available under the Sainsbury's Bank brand for a period, but operated under arrangements with NatWest. For current information about which products are still available, visit the Sainsbury's Bank website or contact them directly.

If you held a Sainsbury's Bank savings account, loan, or other banking product, you should have received communications about what has happened to it and what you need to do, if anything. If you have not received these communications, contact Sainsbury's Bank or NatWest directly.

Sainsbury's credit cards often offered Nectar points on spending, which could be used in Sainsbury's stores or with Nectar partners. If you hold a Sainsbury's credit card and are unsure of its current status, check the Sainsbury's Bank website for the most up-to-date information.
