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

Stay Well Clear of Santander

The worst bank and customer service on the planet! I have had a lock placed on my account and the reason they gave me was that i have used contactless payment too much. Now considering i have spent the last 3 weeks in Singapore and never use the card as i dont want to pay their extortionate rates. I transfer from the bank to Wise. Now they have blocked it and tell me i have to buy something in Singapore and put my pin number in to release the block. Its the only way i can unblock it! Santander are a joke and i shall be closing the account down because of this. Complete failures! still waiting on the line for the fraud team to unblock this bar and been waiting over an hour so far. i am stuck in Singapore without access to my money.

Complete satisfaction

Having banked with Santander since its previous incarnations as Abbey/Abbey National, I have had one or two problems (not least my wife dying unexpectedly), but these have all been resolved with great efficiency and discretion, both in branch and at higher level. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Excellent cashback account

Very good account which pays cashback on household bills. Well worth the £2 fee for the 'lite' account Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Good Cashback

Easy to use app, good online. Charges have increased though. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

No fuss account

No fuss account with cash back and intrest Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Never any issues, great service and communication.

Always great customer service and staff go out of their way to help me make the most of my account benefits. Always get regularly informed of any changes or updates on my account. Mobile app and online banking is easy to use. Never had any issues. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Rewards account users

Account users receive payments for selected direct debits and interest on their balance in exchange for a monthly fee of £4; our fee is always absorbed by the payments we receive. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Santander current account

bank and product is fine as long as you don't need to talk to them on the phone Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Excellent

Love the way I get a little cashback for paying day to day bills. Reviewed on: 16th January 2022

Disappointing

rewards have gone down and down since I originally took out account Reviewed on: 13th January 2022

Good cashback

The cashback on bills, together with interest, means you earn more from this account than many others. Reviewed on: 13th January 2022
