Santander 123 Current Account (discontinued) reviews (1275)

Goodbye Santander

1
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

The Santander 123 account pays interest

4
I like the 123 account as I can leave money in the current account to pay bills as they come in and I get interest on the balance. Unfortunately the interest rate is no longer as attractive. The web site and phone app are very easy to use and very helpful either when at home or away. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2025

Reliable and have been using them for years. Would appreciate more competitive interest rates. Reviewed on: 3rd March 2025

Better than the Edge for my circumstances

4
I went from a current account with no benefits to this one. I would always get around £20-30 back in interest and cashback which always more than covers the fee. The main downside is the the rate of return is less with reduced cashback and higher fees. I have worked it out that based on my spending I am still better off sticking with this account rather than switching to the Edge account Reviewed on: 1st March 2025
