Santander 123 Current Account (discontinued) reviews (1252)

Great interest rate

5
We get a great interest rate on up to £20000, and its always a pleasure to go into branch Reviewed on: 4th April 2018

Lemon Easy!

5
My 123 Current Account is simple and easy to use. Santnader have made it clear with regards to my spending and even have an app 'Spendylytics' to help show my use on my 123 current account. It suits all my needs and offers a useful overdraft for emergencies too. On top of this, they have special offers for discounts on other stores. Reviewed on: 4th April 2018

Average banking

3
Charged £5 per month for account benefits, a large increase from £2. Not much benefits. Reviewed on: 4th April 2018

Good place to keep you £20k

5
Good online account with offers got credit card use and 1.5% on £20k. Energy bills cash back as well. Not bad.... Reviewed on: 21st February 2018

Good overall, lacking branches outside of city centres.

4
Joined in 2014, no issues with products or communications and 123 account is sill just about worth it for me despite interest drops/increased charges. Plenty of branches in city centres (often multiple) but hard to find elsewhere. Reviewed on: 14th February 2018

Was a great account untill they cut the intrest rate

4
Account is OK nothing special, was really good until they cut the interest rate and raise the monthly fee. Noticed as the base rate went up by .25% they didn't increase the interest rate. Reviewed on: 14th February 2018

Decent rate of interest

4
Good cashbook as well as a half decent rate of interest Reviewed on: 14th February 2018

Easy switch good cashback and interest

5
So easy to switch, offers good interest in the current climate and the cashback on bills covers the cost of the account, very pleased Reviewed on: 12th February 2018

great cashback account

5
i pay all of my bills out by direct debit, and the cashback pays off the monthly account details and a bit extra. nice way to make a little bit of money on my outgoings Reviewed on: 12th February 2018

Student account freebie

4
I opened a current account with Santander back in 2015 mainly for the railcard. Reviewed on: 11th February 2018
