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

awful. stay away from them. Incompetence at its finest.

They blocked my account for lack of documents that they didn't ask for in the first place. Took my 4 trips to the branch, more than 10 calls to customer support across more than 20 days to get it resolved. Once this was solved, any sizeable transfer to another account in my name will block my account again, so spend more time on the phone with customer support to unlock it. They're absolutely incompetent, no idea what they're doing. I'm leaving them as soon as I can. ... Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Abysmal Customer Service and Aggressive Staff

1
Unbelievably poor and rude customer service! I have banked with them for over 15 years, went into the Southampton branch today only to be spoken down to, shouted on and pushed by a supposed supervisor at the Above Bar branch. I went in with identification and a simple request to change information on my account but a rude woman interrupted my conversation with a staff member, refusing my request, arguing with me about it, raising her voice then barging past me when I refused to ...

Long story short - the wife and I applied successfully for everyday current account to avail £200 switch offer. Forget about switch offer, instead, accounts closed after a few days. A lousy letter, with no explanation given. Customer service won't give any reason for closure either. Crooks. Reviewed on: 28th February 2023
