santander zero account

does anyone else have the santander zero account?
I was thinking about signing up for it but I'm not sure if it's really zero?
Has anyone had any charges from it since opening?

    Had one a couple of years ago.

    "Zero" actually refers to the level of customer service you will get.

    They still managed to charge a small amount of interest. Just enough to be irritating and I never could get an answer why!


    PS - That was the Zero card, not the current account.

    Its a regular account, just like their other normall current accounts. They're not lying about the fees, so its good for use abroad. Again, while there aren't 'fees' for going into your overdraft you'll still be paying their interest rate on the money borrowed - they're not giving it away for nothing. As with all Santander products their reputation for poor customer service may hold true should you have any problems.
