Complete satisfaction

5
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

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
