Review of the Santander, Everyday Current Account:

Online banking and security excellent

4
I've found online banking with this account incredibly easy. Setting up and managing one-off payments, direct debits and standing orders is very quick, as was increasing my overdraft. I also like the fact that Santander will temporarily hold any suspicious (or new) large payments until they've called you to verify they're legitimate. It's an automated voice service but again it's very clear and intuitive. Reviewed on: 10th August 2015

Great customer service and remote banking services

5
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

They see fraud everywhere except where it is

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
