Santander is giving some savings customers a four-year railcard freebie.
The offer is open to new and existing customers who are aged between 20 and 25.
While the railcard won’t benefit savers who are over 25, those with children that age who are looking for a new savings account may want to share the news about the incentive.

The railcard will provide a third off train travel across England, Scotland, Wales. The discount also applies on the London Underground when the card is linked to an Oyster card.
Saket Jasoria, head of savings at Santander UK, said: “With the Easter and Spring Bank Holidays on the horizon, many people will be saving up for a quick getaway – whether that’s a weekend trip to see friends and family, or just making the most of the opportunity to explore somewhere new.
“We’re delighted to be able to help them make the most of the upcoming holidays, as well as supporting them to save even more over the years ahead, with both the railcard and through our range of savings products.”
