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

Fantastic

5
Love using the 123 current account, great that you can get cashback on your everyday bills that you would be paying for anyway! Also good if you combine with the 123 credit card, as you can get cashback on your everyday purchases! Reviewed on: 21st April 2016

Best bank!

5
Been with this bank since I Fiat had a bank when I was 13 so for about 6/7 years now. Only thing I could fault is the savings account-I was putting away £200 a month at 5% until the last month when it dropped down to 2.5% which was very misleading and I only received 2.5% not the 5% which I signed up for. Other than that issue that was all! Reviewed on: 16th January 2020

Great value account
