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

Never had any issues with Santander, with any of their products. Also very easy to get in contact with too. Reviewed on: 12th March 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 speak to her about it any further. She then proceeded to go to the back and audibly complain about me to a colleague while I was standing there. Extremely unprofessional behaviour and unnecessary aggression, I would never expect this behaviour from any staff there. I am closing my account and would strongly recommend anyone not to bank with them. They do not value their customers and worse still, would not pick the phone several times when I tried to submit a complaint. Reviewed on: 11th March 2023

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

Easy to set up, easy to manage. Phone app access to everything Reviewed on: 28th January 2023

Difficulties never properly resolved

2
There have been repeated problems and bugs which have never been resolved and continue to be an issue, and which employees didn’t seem to understand or to be able to explain. It has made everyday transactions more difficult. Reviewed on: 17th January 2023
