Santander

We have a mortgage, savings and current account with Santander. My husband has also recently opened a separate account as he has become self employed.
He was recommended to change our current account to their 123 account.
I spent ages on the phone going through the transfer arrangements to then be told we don't qualify as credits will be made from another Santander account. So much for loyalty! !
Bye bye Santander.

    Really....just open another account with another bank transfer the money out and back in again.

    You can make a lot of profit from a Santander 123 account. I personally don't like Santander so just store savings in the account having the required credits and direct debits and don't actually use it as my main day to day account.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    You ought not to be using a personal account for self employed earnings.
