Review of the Santander, Everyday Current Account:

Helpful for international students

When I first came to the U.K (London), no bank had such easy and spot on registration other than Santander. They helped with my application, their staff helped me to open my account and they had Indian staff members, wonderful people. Loved the way we connected and I was instantly interested in getting an internship there in summer 2022 and the staff member asked all my questions as it was not even part of his job. 10/10 for the staff :) Reviewed on: 20th January 2022

The Everyday Account meets most banking needs although if I had one complaint it would be that the display in the app shows a "Balance" and a "balance inc. Pending" which causes confusion when pay appears on the balance but not on balance inc. Pending even though the payment is literally pending. It should say "Available balance" instead or "Balance including outgoing pending". Reviewed on: 27th January 2024

Thank you Santandar

I have banked with Santandar for several years and recently had 2 experiences with a potential scam situation where money was taken from my current account every month for a transaction I didn’t subscribe too, the fraud team were amazing ( special thanks to Imran) my concern was dealt with efficiently and spontaneously, I can’t recommend this bank enough, I cannot recommend their commitment to investigating potential frausters enough Reviewed on: 3rd January 2024

Great customer service and remote banking services

The phone line has good opening hours when you want to speak to staff and their automated service is efficient and easy to use. Their app is easy to use and very functional; as is their web-site. Their overdraft facility has been extended for me over recent years, as my needs have changed and my good track record for credit management is recognized. Reviewed on: 29th June 2023

This may have been the 123 Current Account at the time but that makes no difference. I have always thought of Santander as the only UK bank that has not been involved in a banking scandal in the last 15 years or so. Then they were recently fined for carrying out inadequate money laundering checks. They prevented me paying a small amount of money to an aspiring petroleum engineering student in Tanzania to enable him to take a very low cost course in his own country (after an initial request through LinkedIn for help to study in the UK), They were convinced it was fraud and after a long conversation with a teller in my branch, joined by someone else, a manager perhaps, I was told that that was the end of the matter. The next day they sent the police to my door, terrifying my wife! If my passport had not run out I could have made the payment with no problem through Moneygram at my local Post Office. The student spoke to his pastor who financed him to study at the Beijing Petroleum University and remotely after Covid. Reviewed on: 20th April 2023
