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

Outstanding product

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

Ok for the moment

I've had serious problems with Santander in the past, but currently they seem to be doing better than ever in my personal experience, I've had great customer service from them, their fraud prevention seems great as I've had a couple of attempts of money being taken from my account and they were on the ball and spotted it immediately and put a stop to that money going out of my account, even when it was a tiny amount for the fraudsters to check it's an active account/card. It's great to be earning cashback on my everyday purchases and direct debits. I'm a happy customer for the moment. Reviewed on: 15th September 2019

Santander Account

5
I would recommend this account as it has allowed me the option of being able to make interest on the money already within the account this has proved very beneficial especially when larger sums of money are held in the account. I would also recommend this account and the bank society as they have always been helpful when every I needed help and I am satisfied with their service and customer satisfaction.
