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.

hmmmm.....

I opened an account online years ago but never deposited any funds in it. I still receive annual paper statements on my £0 balance though which feels a bit redundant. Reviewed on: 8th September 2016

Good Overall

4
Santander is good overall but the increase in fees for the 123 account on top of the reduction of interest are forcing me to look elsewhere for a current account. Reviewed on: 8th September 2016

Santander Isa - average interest rate

2
Ive been a customer of Santander for many years. They are an all round average bank, especially when it comes to online banking and customer service. The interest on this ISA is poor to say the least compared to similar products offered by banks. Reviewed on: 8th September 2016

Easy peasy

Customer service is fantastic friendly and informative staff. Everyone I spoke to was very helpful and helped solve my queries regarding my bank account. Reviewed on: 8th September 2016

Family friendly flexible approach but could be smarter

5
I absolutely love Santander and have a number of different product with them but the account I use the most is the current 123 account. However access to it via the app it easy but could be a lot smarter. For instance, there isn't a running total for the account on the app so it's impossible to see what impact a withdrawal has had on your overall sum. This is frustrating as I've not had this issue with my Halifax app or the Natwest one. I'm sure it would be a simple fix to do for the app just to make it a bit more fit for purpose.

Banking made simple

5
I was in need of two savings accounts for my children but needed to retain access. The staff in my local branch were able to help me despite not having an appointment. I now have all accounts linked via online banking and it's easy to manage and transfer funds. Reviewed on: 7th September 2016
