Santander 123 Current Account (discontinued) reviews (1265)

Hassle free current account

Was late to Santander, but now would recommend to all family and friends. Reviewed on: 29th June 2017

Great Bank, Great Account

5
I earn cashback on my direct debits, interest on my balance, and low charges on my overdraft. Santander are great! Reviewed on: 23rd June 2017

no help when needed

The account works fine, although even with the cash back it was not worth it. Basically I got cheaper banking elsewhere and with more benefits. I stuck with Santander until they rejected me for credit, which was strange give my credit score, and my history with them... went into a branch to ask why, and no help was given... the machine had decided. Gave up and went elsewhere, got a credit, and I'm saving money on the current bank account. Reviewed on: 22nd June 2017

123 CARD ACCOUNT

Cash back on utilities and Santander mortgage accoutn for a nominal fee. I definetly get more cash back than the accoutn fee costs. Very good my offers for money off lots of shops and restaurnets and online retailers too. Reviewed on: 4th June 2017

Good bank account with cashback on lots of eligible bills, only downside is the relatively high overdraft charges Reviewed on: 1st June 2017

Worth the money

Despite the recent drawbacks in benefits and increased cost the account works and pays well. Great online services too. Reviewed on: 30th May 2017
