Review of the Santander, ISA:

A huge mistake

1
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.

Accurate and easy access to my money

Have favourable view of their savings accounts Reviewed on: 17th September 2023

Worse investment decision ever

1
Cost me a lot of money for advice, spent over 1000 on fees for the luxury of my investment losing 4000 over past 2 years and falling week by week. Will never invest with Santander again and hoping to get some money back before pulling out completely and doing a bank switch Reviewed on: 18th August 2023

Poor performance

1
Do not invest in their stocks and shares isa mine has lost 13% in the last 18 months you will be paying a fee to them for failure, they haven't a clue and are not interested in looking after your money its the worst decision I have made. Reviewed on: 16th August 2023

If you like giving you money away

1
Just invest with the Santander investment hub. Their Atlas products are rubbish. I blame myself for leaving it in their hands, have taken steps to remove and reorganize under my own control. Big disappointment 5 years wasted. Reviewed on: 26th July 2023

Worst ISA on the market

1
Been in Santander ISA for 5 years £70000 invested have lost over £1000 - absolute rubbish - do not even consider this company as an investment - check out Vanguard Reviewed on: 18th July 2023

Worst investment advice ever

1
Cold called by Santander. Financial advisor would help me invest. Charged me £750 plus £300 a year to manage plus £150 per year for their 'hub'. Investment has lost 10% of its value in a year despite being 'low to medium risk'. Totally mis-sold. If anyone is thinking of a stocks and shares ISA with Santander then DON'T DO IT! Every month the value of my ISA goes down and down, its now even beyond their 'worst case' scenario. They are clueless!! Reviewed on: 10th July 2023

Absolute rubbish
