Better than the Edge for my circumstances I went from a current account with no benefits to this one. I would always get around £20-30 back in interest and cashback which always more than cove... Read more Reviewed on: 1st March 2025

So hard to set up an account. So hard to set up an account. Couldn’t believe it. I had to wait in a physical bank twice for over an hour. And they kept sending me letters that were... Read more Reviewed on: 28th November 2024

Santander 123 Current Account (discontinued) reviews (1237)

Review of the Santander, 123 Current Account (discontinued):

Good rewards, but not as high interest as in the past

Good rewards and improved banking app, but not as high interest as in the past. Reviewed on: 8th November 2018

Good and simple account

I've had this account for just over 8 years and have had no issues. Reviewed on: 11th June 2023

EASY CASHBACK

THIS ACCOUNT GIVES CASHBACK ON UTILITIY BILLS AND SOME SPENDING - UP TO 3 PER CENT. IT'S NOT A LOT BUT FOR BILLS AND SPENDING ALREADY COMMITTED TO ITS NICE TO GET SOMETHING BACK ON TOP OF THE INTEREST. Reviewed on: 6th June 2023

The account that pays

Since opening my 123 account with Santander I have earned over £2,000 through interest and cashback on bills. If I had stayed with my old account I would have earned nothing. Reviewed on: 3rd June 2023

Great current account

This account has so much going for it. Rewards, interest and offers to name a few. Thumbs up from me Reviewed on: 2nd June 2023

Very good but not perfect

Generally speaking my experience with Santander bank has been positive. However, there are one or two niggling inconveniences. For example, when setting up a standing order, if a date for payment coincides with a Bank Holiday, the customer if not forewarned about this and the standing order request is unsuccessful. It is only when the bank is contacted that the problem is explained and the customer needs to go through the whole setting up process again. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2023

Satisfactory account

This account gives rewards for certain direct debits, so if you have as many as possible you can earn more than the monthly fee. Reviewed on: 1st June 2023

Quality account with excellent perks that is easy to use

Great functionality of the app makes it easy to administer. Helpful automated chat function which actually does what you want it to do. Good perks. An excellent account. Reviewed on: 1st June 2023

Supporter of Fossil Fuels

I left Santander, after 20+ years of loyalty, when I discovered they continue to provide banking services to the fossil fuel giants who continue to reap huge profits and devastate the future for our children, by continuing to extract and develop carbon based fuels as opposed to diverting ALL their efforts and amassed wealth into non carbon based energy solutions. The banks and the governments seem to be ingrained in our on-going short terms support of these giants who have made good from the earths resources, but refuse to make good for the future.

No issues

We have no issues and this just work. Reviewed on: 31st May 2023

Long Customer

Easy, stress free, reliable. No serious perks but does the job Reviewed on: 31st May 2023
