123, The one account you CAN count on!

5
easy peasey just like 1,2,3. Such a good and rewarding account . So to sum it up " Beneficial " Reviewed on: 11th November 2017

Shame about the fee increase.

4
This was possibly the best current account out there when I first switched to it 2 years ago. Unfortunately, with increase in monthly fees earlier this year it isn't such a great deal as it was. But it's still pretty good as the interest paid on my modest balance and on bill payments via direct debit more than covers the monthly fee. No complaints with the service from Santander either.

I love this account

5
Had it for a few years now and I've earnt over £1200 in cashback from the offers they have. Really simple and with a low monthly fee, this has been the best account I've ever had. Reviewed on: 10th November 2017

Ok if you like a straighforward way of banking

5
Not a problem in contacting the bank. Easy on-line information and access to the accounts Reviewed on: 9th November 2017
