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

Fantastic

5
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

If it isn't broken don't fix it

I have had this account for a long time now - yes there may well be slightly better deals or tempting offers but I am so happy with the service that I don't want to change Reviewed on: 11th November 2018

Excellent customer service

No matter what the query is, I have always found the staff at Santander to be incredibly helpful and patient. Reviewed on: 10th November 2018

123 account review

5
I have found the 123 account to be really positive. The ability to make money each month has been very helpful with getting cashback on my household bills, plus 1.5% on the balance. Reviewed on: 9th November 2018

Good and flexible bank account

5
Great bank account with a decent overdraft. Still has a branch nearby unlike most banks Reviewed on: 9th November 2018

Good rewards, but not as high interest as in the past

4
Good rewards and improved banking app, but not as high interest as in the past. Reviewed on: 8th November 2018

Great everyday account

5
Good for cashback on household bills and pays decent interest if you have a healthy balance. Overall, I think I've been better off keeping this account than getting new customer bonuses moving around to loads of different banks. Reviewed on: 8th November 2018
