Santander 123 Lite Current A/C

You pay £2 monthly fee & you need to be a home owner to get the full benefit of cash back on your utility bills. You also get access to their ESAVER a/c that is easy access that currently pays 3.2%. Reviewed on: 5th April 2023

Its alright

It’s a current account… nothing to get excited about. Reviewed on: 5th April 2023

Not much value anymore

It used to be a profitable account year ago, but after a raise in monthly fee and fiddling with cashback rates not anymore Reviewed on: 5th April 2023

Poor treatment

1
SATANDER customer service destroyed my credit rating over a misunderstanding when closing my account. Numerous calls to customer service and credit control offices left my credit report reeling to this day. All despite having been a customer for 23 years! Never again. Reviewed on: 5th April 2023

Never had any issues

I like Santander, never banked with anyone else, but have never had any issues Reviewed on: 5th April 2023

I like sounds good thanks anyway Reviewed on: 5th April 2023

Bank switch failed...

2
I completed the switch with the hope of getting the £200 incentive to join Santander. The switch failed for some reason which I wasn't informed about, and as a result not only didn't qualify for the incentive, but was also charged fees by my old bank account. Customer service via chat are useless. Reviewed on: 4th April 2023
