Santander 123 current account (discontinued) reviews (1277)

Great customer service!

5
I’ve been banking with Santander for a few years now and I find their customer support is impeccable! Any queries they are always quick to resolve and very kind. And I find their app really easy to use. Reviewed on: 9th January 2022

Great if you have utility bills

5
I’ve had a great experience with Santander and I’ve had no issues for the many years I’ve banked with them. To be rewarded with a small percentage of my utility bills is definitely a help that you don’t get from a lot of other current accounts. I would definitely recommend to a bill paying friend.

Excellent account

Very excellent account with no issues Reviewed on: 5th January 2022

TRULY THE WORST

1
This is the most awful bank in the world period. Dont even go near them. I did an online transfer and they locked out my account and after 5 calls with one hour wait each timie, and two days still dont know when it will be done. It is being reviewed by back office and within their time ranges they say. Cannot say when it will be done. Their security question asks for a recent transactin amount! with your online account locked out Reviewed on: 24th November 2021

Useless

Moved business account to Santander as branches were easier to get to but now they have shut them all meaning I have to go out my way to pay in a few cheques. Also customer service is woeful ! I shall move business account to someone else and will not use these clowns ever again Reviewed on: 9th August 2021
