Goodbye Santander Unable to withdraw my cash when needed. A real lack of proactive help from this bank to keep our business. All accounts now closed. Reviewed on: 4th April 2025

Santander 123 Current Account (discontinued) reviews (1247)

The friendly bank

I love my bank they are always there to help, friendly staff. And they advise you on get the best from your money. Reviewed on: 18th February 2016

Excellent customer service and good interest rate

I have had an account here for many years but was advised to change to their 123 account. I was disappointed to hear of the recent account fee rise but it still pays for us to remain with the account. I have always found the staff to be very helpful either in branch or via other methods of contact. Reviewed on: 18th February 2016

I cannot recommend enough !

I had been with a rival bank for my entire adult life - I only knew how one bank worked ! I changed to Santander about 8 months ago and I am so impressed ! The baking is so user friendly - they have so many security features that I find useful - they tell you when you last logged in and what you looked at so you will be able to see instantly if someone may have accessed your account - when you use the cashpoint you can have a receipt emailed to you - the customer service is excellent - add to this that you receive interest and cashback on your bills - it cannot be beaten !

Great online banking

Fab product, easy to manage and pays good interest and cashback. Reviewed on: 17th February 2016

ABC easy as 123 - current account!

I love my current account the only thing I would change is how when your 16 you can get an overdraft. I think that at 16 years old you shouldn't be-able to spend money that you don't actually have in your account. I am 19 now but I remember when this happened to me it was only £2.62 but I didn't realise until my statement came through. Reviewed on: 16th February 2016

Offers good service & competitive products.

I find their staff friendly & helpful at keeping updated about new products, offering appointments with an adviser as necessary. Reviewed on: 16th February 2016

good customer service

I have been with this bank for a number of years. I am very pleased with the competitive interest rate offered for the 123 Account. Initially on set up of the account it took a little longer than desired to receive my cheque book to gain access to my money - this was very quickly dealt with and I was offered a substantial amount of money (I think) for compensation for my inconvenience. This has happened on another occasion when I wasn't happy and again rewarded in money for my inconvenience. I think , for me, they are a very understanding bank and I am very happy with both interest rate and customer service. If you are signed up to internet banking they are very easy to contact and respond very quickly to any query Reviewed on: 16th February 2016

Ok, but ...

The 123 Account performs exactly how the banks adverts claim

Very satisfied with Santanders performance. Reviewed on: 14th February 2016

I use the branch

I like the idea of having access to a branch to sort out problems or answer questions. This is why I stick with Santander. Reviewed on: 13th February 2016
