Never had any issues

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

Sounds good

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

Student bank who saves us students

5
123 current account allows us students to go into overdraft without having to pay back any interest. It’s nice to know banks have our backs. Plus it comes with a 4 year rail card which is a life saver. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

DISAPPOINTED

1
I used to love being a Santander customer but this bank no longer has any use to me. I can’t get to a bank during banking hours so I pay my cash in the atm. Apparently there’s a limit to the amount of cash that can be paid in & I’ve reached that limit. How ridiculous to only allow a certain amount each year. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Fantastic bank

4
This is a fantastic bank which comes with mah benefits and is extremely student friendly, offering a free 4 year rail card and an overdraft which is a great help for students. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Easy to use

5
Efficient and easy to use app. Easy to set up direct debits via the app Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023
