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

Great service

5
I have had this current account for years and would highly recommend Santander. They offer great customer service both in branch and online. They also have a couple of apps which I use regularly and they are both easy to use and provide a huge number of services Reviewed on: 28th April 2020

Great student current account!

5
Offers a great £1500 overdraft and a free railcard, which is awesome. Get £100 bonus for recommending someone and great credit card related offers. Reviewed on: 27th April 2020

Great rewards

Nice rewards for having a current account Reviewed on: 27th April 2020

Great monthly interest

5
I've had this for a few years now. Yes the £5 fee is annoying and they dropped the interest rates. But I still get around £15 a month interest for a £5 fee. No brainer! Reviewed on: 27th April 2020

Best UK Bank Account

I have been with Santander 123 current account 3 years now I think it is one of the best bank accounts on the high street it you get paid 1% from April Upton £20,000 in your current account and you get 1% back on water and council tax up to £5 and 2% on gas and electricity up to £5 and mobile phones network and broadband TV packages up to £5 cash back on all 3 so that's £15 you could get back and money on you current account as well you pay you pay £5 a month that's fine with me some months I get £21.39 the highs I have got back on cashback was £29.79 and you can get cashback on special offers on the account on shopping you need to activated Upto 15% on lots on shops so that's a lot of money they have never let me know and I love this as you get a lot of cashbacks from Santander Reviewed on: 18th March 2020

Moved All My Money Elsewhere

Used to be a good bank, but then it reduced its 123 account from 3% to 1.5%, and it's going to reduce the rate again later this year to 1%. The fact that Santander must pay Ant & Dec millions to advertise for them irritates me even more. Ditch Ant & Dec - they don't make anyone want to be with a bank - the opposite in fact - very annoying! All the majority of customers are bothered about are interest rates and benefits, not pointless celebrities acting stupid in adverts!!! Reviewed on: 25th February 2020

Friendly and efficient

Staff at my local branch are very friendly and helpful. Any problems I have had have been dealt with very efficiently. Reviewed on: 9th February 2020
