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

Very good account with rewards

5
Very good account with rewards, but you do need to pay in a certain ammount each month, so not necessarily useful if you are retired. Reviewed on: 23rd June 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

Santander 123 account has helped me to earn interest on my money and cashback on my utility bills. This helps me to save for treats for my family. Reviewed on: 10th January 2020
