Santander 123 Current Account (discontinued) reviews (1265)

Good interest rates

4
Think this is the best current account interest rate on the market at the moment. Reviewed on: 9th June 2019

Not So Good Since Interest Rate Reduced

3
This account was previously quite lucrative but is not so since the interest rate was reduced, as a result of which I shopped around and moved elsewhere. Reviewed on: 8th June 2019

GREAT ACCOUNT

EASY TO USE AND UNDERSTAND. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE TOO Reviewed on: 8th June 2019

20 years plus and still happy

5
I have been with Santander since it was Alliance and Leicester and I have never had any complaints. My only niggle is that all of the local branches near me seem to have closed down. It is fairly easy to bank with them online or via the post office however I recently tried to pay in a cheque and couldn't do it because I didn't have any paying in slips. I assumed that my debit card would be sufficient. Reviewed on: 6th June 2019

123 Santander Current Account Card

5
This card is ideal as not only does it give you interest over a period of time, the security has been boosted recently with real time texts on activity and has now added more flexibility to the app like transferring cash and things only available on desktop. Reviewed on: 17th April 2019
