Santander 123 Current Account reviews (1210)

Beware of Fees & Hard Credit Checks

2
1. After opening the account and receiving initial emails, I discovered a surprise £3 monthly fee for the Santander Edge current account. While the information might exist somewhere, it wasn't clear during the application process. 2. Santander performed a hard credit check on my credit history when opening the account, negatively impacting my score. I wasn't informed about this check beforehand. 3. When I visited a branch to close the account, I was directed to call customer service, despite not being registered for telephone banking. While the representative assured me they could close the account without registration, this wasn't the case. I had to wait another week for a letter with a password to finally register for phone banking and complete the closure. Reviewed on: 20th April 2024

Definitely not recommended

Internal communications are virtually non existent. Staff are, in the main, very poorly trained in their field of 'expertise' and incompetent. Automated systems are not updated to reflect the customer's current situation. Account closure without providing a reason. High foreign exchange fees. Long wait times to speak to customer service. That said, the Facebook department are very helpful. Reviewed on: 14th April 2024
