Make money no brainer

5
Despite the £5 monthly fee, I always make more back from the utilities and retail cash back. Only had to call customer services a few times and always very helpful. Reviewed on: 11th January 2019

Decent bank

Haven't had a problem yet. Pay £1 a month and earn over £25 back from paying direct debits & using my card at certain shops. Reviewed on: 11th January 2019

Pretty happy with Santander

4
It was very easy to switch to them with a nice incentive added. We get regular interest payments on our utilities which has built up over the months. Great for a little extra in the bank. Reviewed on: 11th January 2019

Simple process of using my savings and access account to make interest on my spare money while still having easy access Reviewed on: 9th January 2019

Cashback

Great account, we’ve earned quite a bit of cashback by just having direct debits set up. Reviewed on: 8th January 2019

Really annoying account

They charge you for it, constantly reduce interest rates, and have crap customer service. Reviewed on: 8th January 2019

Santander Happy

Shame the interest rate has dropped, but still a good value account. Reviewed on: 7th January 2019
