Get the railcard and go!

Get the railcard and go! Whilst the railcard is a good initial incentive, Santander really isn't worth sticking around with - unless you really need the overdraft, I'd suggest grabbing the railcard and then switching to a more ethical provider / one that helps you generate interest on your current account holdings!

Santander was the best account for me as a student.

Santander was the best account for me as a student. It helped me be more secure with money as well as saving me a ton with the Railcard offer! If I have ever needed helped, their customer service has always been great at helping. I don’t really have anything bad to say as my experience has been great so far! Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

perfect for students

The app is laid out very neatly and it’s easy to understand. Where the documents are placed could be better organised as there’s multiple tabs to click through. As well as this, making a payment could me improved, there should be a tab along the bottom where you can click, without having to select your account (I only have one account with Santander therefore shouldn’t have to click extra buttons just to make a payment). Other than this, Santander is a good banking app and also ... Reviewed on: 21st February 2024

Attractive benefits. Disappointing branches & app.

Santander's student current account is competitive. The 4 year free Railcard and interest free overdraft starting at £1,500 makes it an attractive product for students. Santander boosts is also a nice idea, but limited in practice. However, the app is rudimentary and slow, and banking in branch can be underwhelming, due to the short opening hours and long waits for counter service, not to mention the recent branch closures Reviewed on: 8th January 2024
