Review of the Santander, Cash ISA:

123 Light

I opened the 1-2-3 account with Santander and was happy with it until the upped the fee and lowered the interests. It was costing me to have the account so I called and they switched me to the light version which is cheaper and I still get a decent cashback rate. People on the phone are always helpful Reviewed on: 5th September 2016

A huge mistake

Since I was already a Santander customer I foolishly decided to invest a large lump sum in one of their stocks and shares ISAs at low to medium risk. Since then I have watched the fund shed its value and sink to a level from which it has remained virtually static showing no signs of ever recovering. Why am I paying fees for this? Steer well clear.

Santander - worst stocks and shares ISA imaginable.

Dreadful. Huge fees, and they lost me thousands of pounds and decimated my life savings with their stocks and shares ISA. Awful company, terrible service. Reviewed on: 30th July 2024

I won't be using Santander again.

I won't be using Santander again. Firstly, the website looks like something from the late 90's. Strangely, the 'Close my account' button doesn't work. They are also obsessed with fraud prevention, with regular emails being sent and relentless security messages every time you want to transfer any money. Reviewed on: 12th May 2024

Good rate and service from a well known company.

Dishonest

Almost one year later and Santander have still not fulfilled their T&Cs – I’m still owed a £50 voucher for an ISA transfer over to them. I have followed this up with them multiple times with still no luck in them fulfilling their obligations. The time and effort involved is not worth the £50 I am trying to retrieve. They also make it incredibly difficult to contact them – no option of an email. Instead you have to wait a stupid amount of time to be connected to someone on the phone. You have to go through a ridiculous automated process and just try your luck to get connected to an actual human being. I will move my ISA next month and never bank with Santander again Reviewed on: 20th March 2024

top interest rates for isa's.

they usually have the top interest rates for isa's. I have had my isa with them for a number of years and at the time of renewal of a fixed rate they come out best every time Reviewed on: 21st February 2024

Bumbling incompetent service

Bumbling incompetent service - really the worst catalogue of disastrous errors I've ever come across with a financial institution. And an escalation to Customer Relations fixed absolutely nothing. Ombudsman, here I come! Reviewed on: 15th February 2024

Ample choice of reputed investment companies, notably some not easily accessible elsewhere. Good value. Reviewed on: 15th February 2024
