Santander 123 Current Account (discontinued) reviews (1275)

Student bank who saves us students

5
123 current account allows us students to go into overdraft without having to pay back any interest. It’s nice to know banks have our backs. Plus it comes with a 4 year rail card which is a life saver. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

DISAPPOINTED

1
I used to love being a Santander customer but this bank no longer has any use to me. I can’t get to a bank during banking hours so I pay my cash in the atm. Apparently there’s a limit to the amount of cash that can be paid in & I’ve reached that limit. How ridiculous to only allow a certain amount each year. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Fantastic bank

This is a fantastic bank which comes with mah benefits and is extremely student friendly, offering a free 4 year rail card and an overdraft which is a great help for students. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Fabulous Bank

5
I have held a 123 Current Account with this bank for over 7 years. I use the mobile banking app to track all of my transactions and I have not once in 7 years had any issues accessing my banking information. If you are looking for a really reliable, clear, trustworthy bank then swap to Santander! Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Helpful staff

5
Santander automatically emailed me saying that they were closing my back account which was horrible. I called back to check what the reason for the close was and how it can be resolved so I can keep using Santander as my bank. Alex was very helpful in assisting me in uploading the relevant documents all the way through and removed the block that Santander put on my account. Now I can use my account as I normally would. Thank you, Alex Marius! Reviewed on: 29th March 2023
