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

Excellent

I have banked with Santander for many years and never had a problem. They have always been so helpful and informative. I wouldn’t even consider banking anywhere else Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Amazing

Very good and very supportive for us Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Decent bank

A decent bank. While opening my account they had technical issues, but had good staff who quickly apologized and sorted it out. Mobile and online banking generally good - but app doesn't work on rooted Android phones. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Poor returns from this account

The bank could produce a better product that gives better returns to the customer Reviewed on: 7th February 2019

Worlds apart

Transfering to this account was so simple. I wish I had done years ago. My money was sst in my account just looking at me. Now I earn money every month just by doing all the things I was doing anyway. I cannot rate this product high enough. Reviewed on: 5th February 2019

Branch staff are always really helpful and go the extra mile.

I went into the Chichester branch to set up a new account. The staff were really friendly and explained everything very clearly. The incentive of a free 4 year railcard with the student account, was extremely useful. Reviewed on: 26th January 2019
