Please, please, please avoid this terrible bank. You will spend waiting to get through to them on the phone after they locked you out of your account for no good reason. They currently have our money and there seems to be no way to get it out. I can’t believe this bank is allowed to operate in the UK. Please check the reviews on Trustpilot to see what customers really think about this bank.

Great app

The app is brilliant and although I had some problems initially and setting up my account I found the customer service team to be fantastic.

It isn't bad but I could have performed better.

Santander is a good bank, all the services and approach towards customers are splendid.

Like most banks, gives only a miserly 0.01% on Savings account. Keen to push their 1-2-3 current account, which when I did the checker to see if it was worth my while, was told I would owe them every month, despite having 6 direct debits and paying for everything by card rather than cash. Long time customer with this bank, now time to leave - here I come the Nationwide Building Society

Never had a problem

I've been with Santander for a few years and never had any issues. Their app is really easy to use and I get a really good rate of cash back on my 123 account.

A straight forward no problem savings account

An easy to set up, no credit rating needed saving's account. A cashpoint card is supplied, easy to set up direct debits & great customer service. The only downside is it takes longer for cheques to clear & no online service.

Pitiful interest rate

I received a letter today informing me that the interest rate that my daughter would receive on her savings account was reducing from 0.1% to 0.01%. Even with low base rates this is ridiculously low.

The customer service makes the difference..

Although most savings accounts are much of a muchness these days, offering very low interest rates, I have stayed with Santander because of their above average customer service. No query is too much trouble whether by e.mail, telephone or in branch. Read more

I have always found them very helpful and quick to respond.
