Goodbye Santander Unable to withdraw my cash when needed. A real lack of proactive help from this bank to keep our business. All accounts now closed. Reviewed on: 4th April 2025

Santander 123 Current Account (discontinued) reviews (1247)

Review of the Santander, 123 Current Account (discontinued):

Reduced Interest

We used to love our 123 accounts, which gave us a great return on our savings (5%), but unfortunately, since this was reduced (to 1.5%) it's much reduced and our savings are better off elsewhere. Other than that, we really like the account though. Reviewed on: 11th February 2018

Not a save bank! Lost a lot of money because of them!

Some time ago, I had Open Bank block my account there because suspicious debits were being attempted. A week after the account was blocked, Open Bank still allowed a large debit to go through from a fraudulent company. Unfortunately, there has been no compensation or apology to date. Never again open or Santander! Reviewed on: 17th September 2024

Average service - better out there

Great Bank

One of the few banks that offer an account with a low minimum pay in each month, I have banked with them for over 40 years and never had a problem, their staff are always polite and helpful too. Unlike many others they also have a lot of high street branches too. Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

Wouldn't swap!

I have had the account for a few years now. I get interest on my account (unusual for a current account) and get paid for certain direct debits. They always seem to be ahead of the game in increasing the interest rather than waiting, like a lot of other companies. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

I've had an account for several years now and it is very easy to use online and on the app and anytime I've had to contact customer service they have been great with me. I'd recommend Santander to anyone. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

Terrific Bank

Cash back on utilities, interest on current account, low monthly account charge and fantastic customer service at branches and by phone. It’s also the only bank I’ve found that gives all the aforementioned benefits and whereby you only have to pay in a minimum monthly amount of £500. I also love Santander Boosts. I cannot fault ANYTHING about this bank Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024
