Review of the Santander, Saver:

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. Reviewed on: 24th December 2016

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. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Very good easy access rate also check out Chase Blimey.

I make a healthy interest on my investment and it’s easy access and can transfer to current account as and when necessary. Reviewed on: 11th March 2023

Slow & frustrating

As Santander's opening hours are limited it makes it very difficult to arrange an appointment. It also means that a lot of prior planning is involved to sort out issues. Very frustrating especially when working a 9-5 job as have to take time off to go to the bank. Reviewed on: 11th March 2023

Good app

Good app with clear and easy to navigate pages Reviewed on: 8th February 2023

Non fanno aprire il conto a chi non e cittadino spagnolo

Questa banca discrimina chi non ha una cittadinanza spagnola! Prima si fa pubblicità anche su FB e IG, ma poi all’apertura del conto iniziano i problemi...Infatti fa aprire il conto online solo a chi ha la cittadinanza spagnola. Cose da pazzi che al giorno d’oggi in una società cosmopolita una banca voglia limitare la clientela ai soli cittadini della nazione ove ha sede! Ho chiesto anche informazioni in merito all’assistenza clienti ma non si sono degnati di rispondere alla mia domanda! Quindi secondo questi signori una cittadina italiana che si trova in Spagna non può essere loro correntista. Bè peggio per loro perchè perderanno tanti clienti! Reviewed on: 11th December 2022
