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

Fantastic

Love using the 123 current account, great that you can get cashback on your everyday bills that you would be paying for anyway! Also good if you combine with the 123 credit card, as you can get cashback on your everyday purchases! Reviewed on: 21st April 2016

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

Making money for nothing

The 123 account is a brilliant way to make money by just doing your ordinary things like paying bills and shopping. It also pays interest. Reviewed on: 23rd November 2019

Great fuss free banking

Great banking , problem free . Staff are friendly and helpful . One negative is the cost of authorised over draft usage Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019

No problems

They have been very smooth, no issues whatsoever, very friendly and very good customer service Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019

Basic bank account easy access

Not much you can say really, its a basic account but is easily managed with their great online platform. Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019

Great

Love this account - cashback on my mortgage, utilities and other bills. Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019

Always helpful,,,

I changed my bank after spending over 25 years with HSBC (Midlands Bank) and have never looked back, they are always so helpful when I ring. The cashback is very reliable and they check unusual purchases promptly Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019

On The Ball

I recently had an attempt to fraudulently take money from my account. Fortunately it was flagged by Santander as an unusual transaction on my account and I was contacted. The only thing was, I was rung on my mobile and refused to believe that the person on the phone wasn't a fraudster and refused to speak to them I went home and rang them back from my landline. I was able to confirm the transaction wasn't mine. Scary moment but they handled it well and I was pleased. Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019

2000 cashback

I've made just under £2000 in cashback and interest over the years with this account. Love it! Reviewed on: 21st November 2019

good product

competitive product but was more attractive when interest rate was 3% Reviewed on: 21st November 2019
