Santander is a bank, not a building society, so it no longer has roll numbers.
Santander uses sort code numbers and account numbers rather than roll numbers.
A roll number is a unique identifier used by building societies in the United Kingdom to identify their members. The roll number is assigned to an individual when they join the society, and remains with them for life. It is used to keep track of members’ accounts and transactions, and can be used to pay into accounts and vote in society elections.
Building societies in the UK used to be mutual organisations, owned and run by their members. This meant that members had a say in how the society was run, and could vote on important decisions such as who sat on the board of directors.
In order to be able to vote, members needed to have their name recorded on the society’s roll of members. The roll number was used to identify individuals on the roll, and so it became a way of identity for building society members.
