Santander Savers Account

I have had a Savers Account with Santander for many years and have been happy with the service I've received. Reviewed on: 1st February 2024

Santander's savings normally subpar, but not this time.

Santander's savings offerings have often been subpar in comparison to the wider market however, there was a period earlier in the year where Santander was market-leading and I managed to secure an account at this leading rate. Reviewed on: 27th January 2024

An amazing savings account that was easy to open & use

An amazing savings account that I heard about on an informative email, it was easy to open and add my money too. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2024

Good All- rounder!

Good Website; Good Current Account; Good Savings Rates; Good customer service. Reviewed on: 15th January 2024

Terrible

UK Bank interest rate at 5% and their savings rate on my account was about 0.5%. but the advertised rate was 2%. I call up to ask why I'm not getting the new higher rate and they tell me I have an older version of the same account and need to apply for the new version of the same account. I had 50k in the account so asked if they could just make the switch for me. Nope. Mortgage rates go up immediately but these pathetic savings rates take months to go up and then Santander provides obstacles to getting their own new savings rates. Well good bye Santander. You treated me like **** so I'm taking my money elsewhere. Reviewed on: 18th July 2023

Mixed feelings

Great savings rate when first set up, unfortunately did not keep up with interest rate hikes therefore switched to another bank. The website is awful, the app might be better. Reviewed on: 1st June 2023

perfect bank

This bank makes my life easy. Online banking is easy moving money is easy Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Good app, difficult sign up

Had to post and chase by phone in order to sign up, otherwise ok Reviewed on: 30th March 2023

Difficult to open and manage account

I tried to open a saver account and TBH it was hard work, mainly because I had previously had an account with them 20 years ago. Obviously my address had changed since then and Santander needed all sorts of identity proof because of that. I couldn't access my account online as the verification process took so long. By the time I got access, other banks' interest rates had overtaken the Santander offer. Closing the account proved easier than opening it. Plus, the online site was not easy to use.
