Santander 123 Current Account (discontinued) reviews (1252)

20 years plus and still happy

5
I have been with Santander since it was Alliance and Leicester and I have never had any complaints. My only niggle is that all of the local branches near me seem to have closed down. It is fairly easy to bank with them online or via the post office however I recently tried to pay in a cheque and couldn't do it because I didn't have any paying in slips. I assumed that my debit card would be sufficient. Reviewed on: 6th June 2019

This card is ideal as not only does it give you interest over a period of time, the security has been boosted recently with real time texts on activity and has now added more flexibility to the app like transferring cash and things only available on desktop. Reviewed on: 17th April 2019
