Santander 123 Current Account

A question about : Santander 123 Current Account

I want to get this account, for many reasons.

I'm just wondering if they will run a credit search? I won't be applying for an overdraft.

The reason I ask is that on my experian account it shows a drop since last report as I have 'recently opened one or more new credit accounts'

My mortgage for my first place and the electricity supplier are both now showing (they weren't since last time and I had a massively higher 'score').

Anyone know much about the background setting up etc on this account?

Thanks

(PS - I'm not after lectures on experian thanks )

Best answers:

• They did when I set one up 12 months ago.
• yes they sometimes refer to other dept too.
• Thanks for replies. I might hold fire for a sec until putting the application through.

• Why are you so intensely worried about your score? I'd understand if you were waiting to get a mortgage agreed or something but it seems like you're not.
  If you want the account, the sooner you get it, the sooner your score will recover lol
