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

interest earning current account

4
Santander give a decent rate of return on their current account compared to other banks Reviewed on: 6th March 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

5
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

1
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.

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

Great opening bonus and cashback.

3
I moved to Santander because they were offering me a great opening bonus for transferring accounts, plus cashback on my regular payments. When you deduct the cashback from the monthly fee I am always better off with this account. Reviewed on: 31st May 2023

Reliable bank, uncompetitive account

3
Having held this account for over 7 years, I have had no issues with the bank. However, the days when the account was competitive have long since passed and it is now bang average. Reviewed on: 31st May 2023

Good, fair honest

I was struggling to get an account but Santander enabled me to do so Reviewed on: 30th May 2023

Lifelong bank

I have been with Santander for over 15 years. I’ve only ever had one problem with them, but it was easily solved. Reviewed on: 11th May 2023

Very happy customer....

I've been a very happy customer of Santander for about the last 5 years. The staff in our local branch are really friendly and explain options very clearly. Reviewed on: 11th April 2023
