Santander 123 Current Account (discontinued) reviews (1265)

Good customer service

Good service and accounts for savings Reviewed on: 28th February 2023

Great all round account but few perks

4
This is a dependable current account which I have used as my main account for a number of years. It is solid and the app is easy to use. It is a shame there are very few perks to the account now - when I first opened it there was an exceptional interest rate on credit balances. Alas that has been gone for a long time.

Solid, reliable and trustworthy

I've banked with Santander for years (back to when it was Alliance and Leicester) and I've never been tempted to switch banks. The 123 account pays for itself in interest and cashback (which cover the account fees). The website and app are easy to use, and telephone support is great when you need it. They have increased interest rates swiftly after Bank of England rate rises, unlike some other banks out there. Oh, and they don't make hidden bank charges when I receive payments from abroad.
