Important - this is the 123 account. Although this is a bank account this is a way of using it as a savings account.

Cashback on water, council tax and Santander mortgage payments 1%
(up to maximum monthly mortgage payments of £1,000)

Cashback on gas and electricity bills 2%

Cashback on mobile phone, landline, broadband and paid-for TV packages 3%

Interest on balances from £1,000 AER (variable) 1%

Interest on balances from £2,000 AER (variable) 2%

Interest on balances from £3,000 3%

and up to a maximum of £20,000, so if you maintain a balance of £20,000 you will earn £540 = 2.7% and the cashback on the direct debits will more than cover the £2 charge for most people. Each month transfer in enough to cover the amount of the direct debits.
