Santander Business Current Account reviews (90)

Basic but does the job

A simple no frills account. There is very little support and the extent of the account is quite basic but for me it does the job with no problems. I have used other online business banking accounts and this one is much easier to use. Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

Just use another bank.

This is honestly the worst bank I've ever dealt with, I wouldn't usually leave a review but if I can stop someone from signing up I've a least saved the the hassle for someone else. Online banking for bussiness accounts is awful, in 6 months I've been locked out for the 4th time due 2 factor authorisation, why can't you have finger print access like every other bank? It's not 2004. Now I have wait for the password in the post again. Secondly customer services just takes ages. 20minutes on the phone before you can talk to anyone. I look forward to leaving I won't be paying for the services of you bussiness account. You should be paying me to use this rubbish. Reviewed on: 30th November 2018

Not too good

I have been a customer for 14 years (and have had a few other problems during that time) and called in to sort out what I thought would be a very simple problem - out of the blue they have started sending me letters every time a basic transfer is made! To tried to go through security but some questions referred to facilities I have never used - e.g. cards. They asked me to call in again - I did with same result. After demanding to speak to complaints, complaints said that they couldn't log the complaint because security was not passed, and the only possible way was to waste time physically visiting a branch!! So catch-22 and no result. Reviewed on: 23rd October 2018

Superb Service

Called their helpline ‭0800 085 1633‬ to open Business Bank Account, extremely helpful person put me within 5-6 on call with a business manager. Was given the option to open account on phone, took about 35 mins all questions were relevant to the business, was asked if any exisiting contracts - said No and she said fine. Director details were asked and a credit check was done all within 35 mins. Account was seamlessly sorted/opened with free business banking for a year. Great service and nothing more to expect. Reviewed on: 11th September 2018

Still waiting...

Further to my earlier review, I'm still waiting to hear back from Santander - 3 months later. I have written to them 6 times asking them to delete the personal data that they gathered about me as part of my application. No response, so I guess they still hold my data - without my consent - isn't that prohibited???? Terrible service - I'd advise anyone to try elsewhere. For a business bank, Nat West have been fantastic. Reviewed on: 23rd July 2018

when One Star is an Insult

Based on recent experiences with the bank I've been with since I was 16, one star is even insulting. Kept on hold listening to music for 25 minutes then the red devils promised to call back between 12 and 4 today, which they never did so I have gone without the customer support I was promised by their call centre, even though I am a loyal customer of 12 years. Very poor, very shoddy work, Santander. Don't open a current account with this bank! Reviewed on: 14th May 2018

Absolutely useless

Been trying to open an account for 11 weeks. Just been told by one of the staff that I should go somewhere else as it’s likely to take weeks more!!! Impossible to get a response and I am know unable to receive my contractors pay as I have no bank account! Absolutely hopeless and totally unprofessional. Reviewed on: 9th May 2018
