Santander is a awful bank to be with,was with them for nearly 4 years and you get nothing interest is poor customer service in branches isn’t great,The app is awful,not tools to use to help you Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Once excellent soon to become undesireable

Santander used to provide top cash interest rates and great cashback for a small monthly payment. These have gradually been weaken and in March we hear they will worsen still.....time to switch. Reviewed on: 16th January 2020

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
