Reliable

5
I've been with this bank for a long time (I think since the Leeds closed) and they have been consistently good for the whole time. The interest rates are good and with the current account you can link to lots of other savings and credit accounts. Reviewed on: 11th March 2023

Online Easy

Easy to manage my money through their app Reviewed on: 11th March 2023

Great value 123 Account

5
The interest paid on a current balance up to £20000 is regularly updated. Recent increases in the bank rate have been passed on to account holders with admirable speed. Reviewed on: 11th March 2023

Excellent bank account with benefits

5
I have had my Santander 123 account many years, in fact since it started. It is a great bank account you can access via app or mobile, laptop or desktop. The benefits are that each month Santander pay you a percentage for having your mortgage direct debit with them also council tax, utilities and phone. As long as you have monthly direct set up and have your wages paid directly into account. If that is not good enough you also receive interest on your balance up to £20000. It only costs £3 a month and i have made hundreds of pounds back over the years. Santander the bank that gives you something back. Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

A useful account

This account is good if you set up the direct debits that earn cashback. The money earned can easily exceed the fee. Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

Good service

Very good customer service. Also very helpful staff Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

Bill payment cashback is good

Bill payment cashback is good, payment limits are quite generous. Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

Excellent customer service

5
I switched to Santander 5 years ago and have been very impressed with their efficient and professional customer service. My local branch manager was very helpful when I was disputing a spurious charge which the retailer refused to refund. The internet banking app is very intuitive and I am extremely happy as a Santander customer. Reviewed on: 10th March 2023
