If it isn't broken don't fix it

I have had this account for a long time now - yes there may well be slightly better deals or tempting offers but I am so happy with the service that I don't want to change Reviewed on: 11th November 2018

Excellent customer service

No matter what the query is, I have always found the staff at Santander to be incredibly helpful and patient. Reviewed on: 10th November 2018

123 account review

5
I have found the 123 account to be really positive. The ability to make money each month has been very helpful with getting cashback on my household bills, plus 1.5% on the balance. Reviewed on: 9th November 2018

Good and flexible bank account

5
Great bank account with a decent overdraft. Still has a branch nearby unlike most banks Reviewed on: 9th November 2018

Good rewards, but not as high interest as in the past

4
Good rewards and improved banking app, but not as high interest as in the past. Reviewed on: 8th November 2018

Great everyday account

5
Good for cashback on household bills and pays decent interest if you have a healthy balance. Overall, I think I've been better off keeping this account than getting new customer bonuses moving around to loads of different banks. Reviewed on: 8th November 2018
