Santander 123 Current Account (discontinued) reviews (1250)

Not happy with the complaint service

1
It was cashbook issue .According to Santender I have selected credit card for accepting cash back money which I was anware and now I changed to my curent account.But they won't pay me back the cash back which went on credit card as I have not used the credit card.As it's not santdender error they said I lost that money.. One bank I phoned to report theft of my card..as a sorry they gave me £20.0 with no reason..so happy as I lost some cash aswell. See the difference between service with other bank and santender. Here they didn't give me what I earned through shopping saying it's not santender error and the other bank paid me because they valued customer. Reviewed on: 31st May 2018

Good experience from the company Reviewed on: 14th April 2018

Fantastic Provider

5
Santander have the best current account rates and an amazing cashback system for normal household bills. My account receives a generous income boost each month and now also includes cashback from shopping at specific retailers. Their banking app is very user-friendly and straight forward to use, and the customer service/support is brilliant. 100% would recommend Santander to a friend. Reviewed on: 6th April 2018

Excellent customer service

5
been with santander about 6 years and have been really impressed with the customer service. Staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. They made a small mistake when first swapping to them which they put right as soon as we mentioned it and gave us a small amount of money to say sorry for the inconvenience. What more can you ask for. Very impressed. Reviewed on: 4th April 2018

Good all rounder

The 123 account is good but not the best on the market. It is easy to set up, plenty of branches in towns to speak to someone in person. They are very honest about whether it is worth paying the fee to get the cash back. Online banking is good quality. Reviewed on: 4th April 2018

Great interest rate

5
We get a great interest rate on up to £20000, and its always a pleasure to go into branch Reviewed on: 4th April 2018

Lemon Easy!

My 123 Current Account is simple and easy to use. Santnader have made it clear with regards to my spending and even have an app 'Spendylytics' to help show my use on my 123 current account. It suits all my needs and offers a useful overdraft for emergencies too. On top of this, they have special offers for discounts on other stores. Reviewed on: 4th April 2018
