Based on previous WSO threads, it's not uncommon for banks like Santander to take a few weeks to get back after final round interviews, especially for graduate programs. Delays can happen due to internal processes, approvals, or aligning decisions across teams. If it's been more than two weeks, it might be worth sending a polite follow-up email to HR or your recruiter to check on the status of your application.

Keep in mind that patience is key, but a well-timed follow-up can also demonstrate your continued interest in the role. Good luck!

I followed up hr before she said they have too many groups and each is separated so I guess they may send out results separately also
