Poor Bank Advice

1
I had a standard old Santander bank account with an overdraft which I used regularly. My bank receptionist persuaded me to convert to the 123 account saying loads about benefits but nothing about the negatives for someone who uses their overdraft regularly. When I started getting charges for something which was free with my old account, I felt very aggrieved that I wasn't given fair and balanced information regarding the account that they were pushing at me (pushing very hard I should point out). I would never have moved to the new account if I had been given the FULL details. Reviewed on: 5th February 2016

Top Current Account

I switched to a Santander 123 account about 2 years.The switching process was very easy and quick to do. It is easy to operate my account online and any queries I have are dealt with straight away by efficient and friendly telephone banking staff. Communication between bank and customer are excellent and I am impressed with the care that Santander take to keep my online banking secure and safe. Reviewed on: 5th February 2016
