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

Decent cashback current account

This was the market leader a few years back. The interest levels are creeping back up to a reasonable level and the cashback on utilities payments is decent. Getting there. Reviewed on: 1st March 2023

I'm a 77 yr old pensioner and unfortunately I was scammed and duped into downloading the "AnyDesk App" to help open a "MoonPay" account to transfer money held in a "Blockchain" wallet to my Santander account. Instead of recieving funds I lost money. Be very aware, in finding myself in this horrible situation Santander are quite heartless, and so too ActionFraud.police.uk. The morale of the story is don't get scammed because despite what your told nobody will help you. least of all Santander if you bank with them. Reviewed on: 1st April 2024
