Santander 123 Current Account (discontinued) reviews (1275)

Good experience with Santander

4
I love this account. Online banking is super easy to use and the student and graduate accounts have been so useful with their interest free overdrafts. Would definitely recommend this account to recent graduates Reviewed on: 21st November 2019

Save while you pay

Great cash back incentives to pay household bills via direct debit Reviewed on: 21st November 2019

Great account

5
Ive had the 123 current account for about 5 years now and cant fault it. It gives a good rate of interest every month Reviewed on: 20th November 2019

Excellent current and savings

High security, good overall banking recesses and great rate of interest for a current account Reviewed on: 20th November 2019

Deserted my local high street(Penarth)

Had a very good local branch which I used a lot which was closed and I was told to go the next town! As a result I have started moving money away from Santander to providers with branches in Penarth Reviewed on: 12th November 2019

123 Account

Cashback on bills and interest on up to £20,000 easy to manage online. Reviewed on: 5th November 2019

123 Account for Me

5
This is one of the few bank accounts that don’t require a minimum pay in of over £1,000 needed to open it, making it accessible to those in lower paid occupations. For the monthly fee of £5 you get interest on your balance and cash back on direct debits to utility companies. They also have an offers page where you can earn cash back on certain retailers and popular eating out brands, by choosing the offers you want and using your debit card at them. All in all a good account with rewarding features. Reviewed on: 5th November 2019

Great cash back

5
When we pay out a fair amount of our income on household bills, it's rewarding to know that we'll get a bit back as cash back from our 123 account with Santander. They are such an understanding & helpful bank to be with. Reviewed on: 5th November 2019

Excellent

5
A great account paying good interest on 20k. Reviewed on: 5th November 2019

Excellent account; shame about charge and lower interest

4
I’ve had this account for several years, and whilst it’s great, I have seen its benefits eroded, particularly with regards to interest. Reviewed on: 15th September 2019
