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

Outstanding product

5
I can't rave enough about how clever the 123 current account is. There is a 2 pound monthly fee, but this is more than made up for by the better savings rate on offer and cashback on household bills makes it really clever...cash back on bills is a nice feeling. Reviewed on: 10th June 2015

Great service

Great rewards account

5
I love the rewards with this account, it adds up quicker than you think and the staff at the local branch couldn't be more helpful. Reviewed on: 8th December 2019

Good security

Brilliant bank

Started with a student account, moved to a graduate account and now on the 123 current account. The student account was brilliant for me and they made the transition to working life a lot easier with the graduate account. Only bit of criticism I could give is that when trying to pay my credit card on the app it is a little difficult and I need to go on an internet browser instead. Reviewed on: 25th November 2019

Interest cut

This was a great account until the interest rate was slashed - now only mediocre Reviewed on: 24th November 2019

Really good

5
We have had this account for many years, it works for us, it's not many banks that give you cash back on all your Bills, we get about 19.00 interest a month and don't really notice the Fee. Reviewed on: 24th November 2019
