Santander 123 current account (discontinued) reviews (1277)

very good service

5
very good bank with very good products. They keep me informed of the innovative products on offer. Reviewed on: 22nd February 2023

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.

My experience with Santander has been fantastic. They have dealt fairly with me for years and usually if I get any issues I can pop into the branch or phone them. They are always friendly and helpful Reviewed on: 21st February 2023
