Helpful and good app

3
Staff in branch are always helpful, branch is in a convenient location for us and has good opening times. The Santander iPad app is also very reliable, works well and we use it pretty much everyday to check our balance and move money around. Can't complain about them really.

I love Santander, friendly staff and a great student account! Reviewed on: 11th February 2016

great basic account for everyday ingoings and outgoings.

This account is good for things like direct debits and monthly bills etc. I use very accessible online banking and rarely have any problems but if I do, I call and their friendly staff are always very helpful. Not a great account for savings though. Although they do provide other better ways of doing this, such as an ISA which I now have. Reviewed on: 10th February 2016

Good or bad, hmmm not sure ???

3
I have both a current account and a savings account with Santander and have mixed feelings about the level of service I receive from them. With interest rates and types of account I think they are pretty good, however most of the times I go into my branch the staff seem to be uninterested at what I am trying to do. They are too busy trying to sell me new products or services even though I have declined them on a previous visit. The other thing that is really annoying is that I cannot withdraw more than £500 in a single transaction without having to pre-order and wait 3 days for it, other banks that I use do not use this policy and I am free to take my money whenever I want.

Banked with Santander for 15years. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

I have been with Santander for nearly 20 years. Their customer service is always excellent and their mobile app is incredibly simple and secure. Reviewed on: 26th August 2015

Reliable, trustworthy and honest brand.

My husband and I set this account up 5 years ago, to manage our household finances. In the last 5 years we have had a small overdraft on and off and never had any problems with this. The fees are very reasonable. When someone tried to use our card fraudulently, after a big company had a security breech and failed to tell us, they called us immediately. They noticed a very small transaction of just $7 in a hotel abroad and they promptly declined it and stopped the fraudsters potentially accessing the thousands that were in our account on payday! The customer service is fantastic and you can even send them messages about certain things via the online banking portal which is great if you remember a query at 2am! Reviewed on: 25th August 2015
