Was great at first but then they changed the terms and conditions of the cashback. Will be looking to change Reviewed on: 11th June 2020

Friendly Bank

I like the ease of use online banking app, the cash back you get on everyday spends from various retailers and if you ever have to visit a branch the staff are always friendly and well informed Reviewed on: 27th May 2020

Best current account

I have had the 123 account for about 4 years. I manage it online and receive cashback ever month. In this time, I have accrued over £400 in cashback. Any time I have contacted Santander they are extremely helpful and dealt with my query quickly and efficiently. Reviewed on: 22nd May 2020

Great service

I have had this current account for years and would highly recommend Santander. They offer great customer service both in branch and online. They also have a couple of apps which I use regularly and they are both easy to use and provide a huge number of services Reviewed on: 28th April 2020

Great student current account!

Offers a great £1500 overdraft and a free railcard, which is awesome. Get £100 bonus for recommending someone and great credit card related offers. Reviewed on: 27th April 2020

Great rewards

Nice rewards for having a current account Reviewed on: 27th April 2020

Great monthly interest

5
I've had this for a few years now. Yes the £5 fee is annoying and they dropped the interest rates. But I still get around £15 a month interest for a £5 fee. No brainer! Reviewed on: 27th April 2020
