Since being with Santander 123 current account I have earned over £500 for using my account as I normally would Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

Good account

Nice to get a little back as you can set it up to get cash back on your council rates, gas , water and electricity which amount to more than the charges for the account Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

CURRENT ACCOUNT THAT PAYS

PAYS YOU TO BANK WITH THEM - WIN WIN! Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

Don't get a lot of interest but I think you can still get a railcard if you are a student.

I haven't got a lot to say but I have been with Santander for several years because I opened a student current account with them when I started uni. This has now matured into a graduate current account but I still have quite a long time to pay off my overdraft. I do wish there were more branches so you could pay in cash and cheques easily. You get retailer offers as well so you can get cashback in some shops and the account is free. Reviewed on: 13th January 2019
