Incompetence

1
Changed name on Account to my deceased Father !! Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Take your money and give customer nowt back in return!

2
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 Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Easy to use, easy to save.

4
Very user friendly and easy to transfer to the account using online banking making it very easy to save those pennies. Reviewed on: 6th November 2017

Easy saving

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. Reviewed on: 27th July 2017

Excellent service

5
Easy to access, staff are great to help, clear information and advice given. Reviewed on: 17th July 2017

A straight forward no problem savings account

4
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. Reviewed on: 12th February 2017

Conned out of cash by a 2nd layer buried terms and conditions

5
I payed p&p on a £89 face cream going as a trial at £4 Two weeks later £89 was out of my bank account Was not in the terms and conditions. so Santander reembursed me £89 and the company did likewise.Grand I made £89 and got the product for nothing Reviewed on: 4th February 2017

Pitiful interest rate

2
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

Easy to manage online

4
I bank with Santander, i wanted to have little savings pots, linked to my account. I had to open several individual savings accounts. I receive individual paperwork for each account. So when the interest rate changed i received 8 letters. Total waste of resources. Why cant they link my savings accounts to my main current a count. I used to bank with I F, they were abel yo do this. Reviewed on: 6th September 2016
