Pretty faultless in the 20 years I have been with them.

Pretty faultless in the 20 years I have been with them. I have felt no reason to change to any other bank. Reviewed on: 5th March 2024

Early days...

Started very recently, so little by way of experience here. So far, so good. Reviewed on: 27th February 2024

Decent for a while

It was a good product back in the day, when it would give a decent interest rate. Through time, it fell back against the competition. Reviewed on: 22nd February 2024

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND SANTANDER

2
4 times I had problems with debit card. Santander very slow to react and lengthy phone calls required to resolve situation. Refused to take any responsibility for their own errors and rude attitude. Reviewed on: 15th February 2024

The 1 2 3 Lite account gives Cashback on Direct Debits

The 1 2 3 Lite account gives Cashback on Direct Debits but have adjusted them over the years so not quite so advantageous Reviewed on: 15th February 2024

Account is easy to use.

5
Account is easy to use. Good support over the phone and a nice bonus of cash back on certain things. Interest rates are not the best I found but over all I’ve had a good experience banking with them. Reviewed on: 15th February 2024

Easy to use app.

Easy to use app.Log in not too long.Like the cashback . Reviewed on: 15th February 2024

Great Banking at your finger tips

5
the 123 account fitted my needs, but it also introduced me to the Edge account which was linked to a savings account. As we had a joint account we could put £8000 away for a year earning 7%. That's great! AT the end of the year I will look elsewhere. I stick with Santander because they are solid, reliable and never let me down Reviewed on: 14th February 2024

Keep your money organised easily

5
The website is clearly organised and makes managing money painless. You can see the status of any linked accounts such as mortgage and savings at a glance so that you feel fully in control. Upon logging off it gives you a summary of your activity which is helpful. Reviewed on: 11th February 2024
