Amazing

5
Very good and very supportive for us Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Decent bank

4
A decent bank. While opening my account they had technical issues, but had good staff who quickly apologized and sorted it out. Mobile and online banking generally good - but app doesn't work on rooted Android phones. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Poor returns from this account

2
The bank could produce a better product that gives better returns to the customer Reviewed on: 7th February 2019

Worlds apart

5
Transfering to this account was so simple. I wish I had done years ago. My money was sst in my account just looking at me. Now I earn money every month just by doing all the things I was doing anyway. I cannot rate this product high enough. Reviewed on: 5th February 2019

Branch staff are always really helpful and go the extra mile.

5
I went into the Chichester branch to set up a new account. The staff were really friendly and explained everything very clearly. The incentive of a free 4 year railcard with the student account, was extremely useful. Reviewed on: 26th January 2019

No hassle and good rewards

5
Great online and mobile service and never had any problems Reviewed on: 22nd January 2019

Good bank

5
All good, I like this bank a lot. Reviewed on: 21st January 2019

great choices

5
This bank employs great staff who actually know what they are talking about, unlike other banks. The 123 account is wonderful with perks for the customer. All in all I would recommend this bank to anyone who is looking to change banks. Reviewed on: 21st January 2019

Incompetent morons

1
Incompetent morons. I have had the same phone number for 22 years. It has been registered for Internet banking for about the same amount of time. I can see it on my Internet banking page right now in the Personal Details section. Santander, however, maintain that they have a different number for me for the purposes of making on-line payments (OTP code). As I do not know what that number is, they refuse to help me. They entered some random number on their system and want me to guess it! Reviewed on: 18th January 2019

Great account glad I made the Switch

Fab current account glad I switched, great bank with excellent customer service and turnaround time is amazing to. Reviewed on: 14th January 2019
