Santander 123 Current Account (discontinued) reviews (1252)

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

Careful staff and attentive to details

5
The staff at branch is careful with details and make sure every step is done properly. I could imagine if the same process is done in other banks, the staff will just say ok to everything but ends up messing the whole process and requires me to go back to handle it again. Reviewed on: 10th March 2021

Great Banking at your finger tips

5
the 123 account fitted my needs, but it also introduced me to the Edge account which was linked to a savings account. As we had a joint account we could put £8000 away for a year earning 7%. That's great! AT the end of the year I will look elsewhere. I stick with Santander because they are solid, reliable and never let me down Reviewed on: 14th February 2024

Keep your money organised easily

5
The website is clearly organised and makes managing money painless. You can see the status of any linked accounts such as mortgage and savings at a glance so that you feel fully in control. Upon logging off it gives you a summary of your activity which is helpful. Reviewed on: 11th February 2024

Local Branch Phone Number is a Premium Rate Number

My local Santander branch in West Bridgford, Nottingham left a message to ring them. I rang and a 13 minute call, for some of which I was on hold, cost £4, as it is a premium rate 05511 number. Why are Santander using Premium rate numbers? Reviewed on: 3rd January 2024
