Santander 123 Current Account (discontinued) reviews (1265)

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

Stay Well Clear of Santander

The worst bank and customer service on the planet! I have had a lock placed on my account and the reason they gave me was that i have used contactless payment too much. Now considering i have spent the last 3 weeks in Singapore and never use the card as i dont want to pay their extortionate rates. I transfer from the bank to Wise. Now they have blocked it and tell me i have to buy something in Singapore and put my pin number in to release the block. Its the only way i can unblock it! Santander are a joke and i shall be closing the account down because of this. Complete failures! still waiting on the line for the fraud team to unblock this bar and been waiting over an hour so far. i am stuck in Singapore without access to my money.

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

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

Great rewards account

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

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

Excellent!

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

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

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

santander 123 current account

I have been a Santander customer for years but the 123 account is great as you get good cashback, especially if you have a mortgage with them too. Reviewed on: 23rd November 2019
