5
Opened the account as I moved house; perfect service Reviewed on: 30th April 2020

Great service

5
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!

5
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

5
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

Mortgage Freeze

Freeze your mortgage online, its easy, don't phone they wont answer. Reviewed on: 20th March 2020

Moved All My Money Elsewhere

1
Used to be a good bank, but then it reduced its 123 account from 3% to 1.5%, and it's going to reduce the rate again later this year to 1%. The fact that Santander must pay Ant & Dec millions to advertise for them irritates me even more. Ditch Ant & Dec - they don't make anyone want to be with a bank - the opposite in fact - very annoying! All the majority of customers are bothered about are interest rates and benefits, not pointless celebrities acting stupid in adverts!!! Reviewed on: 25th February 2020

Friendly and efficient

5
Staff at my local branch are very friendly and helpful. Any problems I have had have been dealt with very efficiently. Reviewed on: 9th February 2020
