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

Hassle free current account

Was late to Santander, but now would recommend to all family and friends. Reviewed on: 29th June 2017

Great Bank, Great Account

I earn cashback on my direct debits, interest on my balance, and low charges on my overdraft. Santander are great! Reviewed on: 23rd June 2017

no help when needed

The account works fine, although even with the cash back it was not worth it. Basically I got cheaper banking elsewhere and with more benefits. I stuck with Santander until they rejected me for credit, which was strange give my credit score, and my history with them... went into a branch to ask why, and no help was given... the machine had decided. Gave up and went elsewhere, got a credit, and I'm saving money on the current bank account. Reviewed on: 22nd June 2017

123 CARD ACCOUNT

Cash back on utilities and Santander mortgage accoutn for a nominal fee. I definetly get more cash back than the accoutn fee costs. Very good my offers for money off lots of shops and restaurnets and online retailers too. Reviewed on: 4th June 2017

Good bank account with cashback on lots of eligible bills, only downside is the relatively high overdraft charges Reviewed on: 1st June 2017

Worth the money

Despite the recent drawbacks in benefits and increased cost the account works and pays well. Great online services too. Reviewed on: 30th May 2017
