Good value

Still great value for money, saved far more than I have spent Reviewed on: 9th March 2023

Good functionality and ease of use bank

4
Good bank for setting up accounts and keeping track of money via app, online banking or at machines/in bank. Very informative staff. However not being able to scan cheques online is annoying. Reviewed on: 9th March 2023

Been with Santander for years

I've been a Santander customer for over 30 years (it was Abbey National then) and have never had a problem with them. Their online and app services are excellent, and branch staff are always helpful and attentive. Reviewed on: 8th March 2023

interest earning current account

Santander give a decent rate of return on their current account compared to other banks Reviewed on: 6th March 2023

Nice little earner

Cashback on bills is great, nice little way of earning small extra cash Reviewed on: 2nd March 2023

Decent cashback current account

This was the market leader a few years back. The interest levels are creeping back up to a reasonable level and the cashback on utilities payments is decent. Getting there. Reviewed on: 1st March 2023

Good communications with regular updates

Secure and sound banking that works Reviewed on: 28th February 2023

Cashback is amazing

Their app is really easy to use and the bonus of cashback on bills is brilliant Reviewed on: 28th February 2023

Main bank

Been with Santander for over 10 years and it's been a fairly great bank. Telephone lines are always busy and take about 20 minutes to get through but online chat has been easier to get through. Reviewed on: 28th February 2023
