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

Great service

4
Great service and very customer focused Reviewed on: 11th December 2019

123 current account is very useful and the cashback options are great

5
I saved on average and the customer service is always helpful. Reviewed on: 11th December 2019

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

4
Always block card from being in use if they suspect an suspicious behaviour Reviewed on: 3rd December 2019

Excellent!

5
Brilliant and really reliable product! Reviewed on: 30th November 2019

Brilliant bank

5
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

3
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
