Santander Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Stuart Barker (@stubarkermfc) reported@santanderuk I don’t a complete switch to your bank. This was on the 3rd of July. Still I don’t have access to my account where my wages get paid to and my bills get paid. You have had all my ID. I can’t access anything. I have called numerous times. Avoid Santander people. Customer service skills are awful at best.
-
One under par (@Oneunderpar3) reported@santanderuk how long am I supposed to wait online chat to speak to a real person to explain a security issue?
-
Heather Self (@hselftax) reportedWhy is it so difficult to get past automated bank systems? I want to make a payment which is outside the parameters of the app, but getting out of the doom loop of “did you know you can do this on the app” is almost impossible. Thanks (not) @santanderuk .
-
. (@Midnight_x83) reported@santanderuk It's been four hours since your chat not said they were passing me to a customer service rep to join the chat....still nothing
-
KM (@KEM0901) reported@santanderuk hi, please can we have some way of getting support for my daughter who is trying to set up a student account. We can’t phone as she doesn’t currently have an account.
-
Gary McEwan (@GaryMcEwan72) reported@mturner1961 @santanderuk My 94 year old grandmother got the exact same thing. She no longer had a driving licence or passport so ultimately had to switch because Santander had restricted access. And she had the account for years and never had she been asked for this.
-
AP (@andyparsons3) reported@santanderuk I have zero faith or trust that anyone will be in contact, I suspect I’ll be proven right - for 2 days you’ve blocked all my banking access so that you can do extra checks for a low value payment and not told be what’s going on - appalling service
-
Clare Wiener (@ClareWiener) reported@santanderuk I am going to be on hold until 6pm and are you then going to hang up on me for the 3rd time? I've been on the phone for over an hour in total now 🤬 what about if you have provide a ring back service?
-
OldishBird (@oldishbird1) reported@SandraF74372594 @santanderuk I waited for 30 minutes then decided it was pointless. Some of their staff on X have admitted there’s an outage even though their official status page claims not.
-
Maks (@omgitsmaks) reported@santanderuk Are these advisers also able to help with a money transfer request or i have to wait until tomorrow morning?
-
Sandi (@Limaratoo) reported@santanderuk any chance of someone helping me with a query as your chat is returning this message: ‘Oops, I’m experiencing some issues. We are trying to resolve it, please try again later’
-
ADUK2025 (@ADUK2025) reported@BROKENBRITAIN0 My bank app wants this from me to use it already. @santanderuk They can **** off.
-
Ficanaso (@Jelibra1967) reported@ForeverScept @santanderuk @antanddec Id check out the Martin Lewis website or download his app. There will be a deal to move to another bank and get cash back for doing it. Think my brother just moved to Nationwide for £175.
-
Bonnie🫡and Clyde 🏴 (@ElznGaz) reported@santanderuk have you a problem updating balances after transfers ?
-
Garry Peat (@RidgewayRam) reported@santanderuk Yes we will email you but this needs reporting to FSCS and financial ombudsman as the service we are getting is nothing short of appalling. Promises to call back but don’t and still can’t access our money despite requesting a transfer to an account in the same name …. Sigh 😞
-
Ash 1974🔴🏐 (@andy_horner) reported@santanderuk Not really any help and 5 days was mentioned which is a joke as its not 1950 is it?
-
Martin Hughes (@MartinH01846340) reported@santanderuk @TSB God help the customers. Closing all their branches.
-
Pasteur Eyes #UTA 🟥 (@broncoskolar) reported@santanderuk you moved my branch without telling me at Canary Wharf and the new one has no counter or anyway to pay coins in. Very poor service.
-
Lucy Dorrington (@TheParentGame) reported@santanderuk @TSB Why have you blocked access to online banking unless various ID demands and proof of earnings are met? You say it's the law, but I bank with Barclays and NatWest and haven't had to do this? I don't see how it's only necessary for you?
-
Pamela Christodoulou (@urmPAMELA) reported@santanderuk you’ve had my account blocked for 3 days, any chance you could get this sorted so I have access to some money?
-
Flagship2UK (@Flagship2UK) reported@santanderuk hi - just checking if the App has had an upgrade and removed all statements or I just can’t find them. Hoping you can help?
-
Ian Melville (@irmelville) reported@santanderuk how the hell is someone supposed to get any help.. phone call.. on hold for ages... online chat... passed off to await someone.. for ages... your X help address.. no response... this is appalling
-
The Northern Monkey (@TheNorthernMon2) reportedAre your systems down? On hold for 40 minutes. Cant access credit card info. @santanderuk
-
Garry Peat (@RidgewayRam) reported@santanderuk what the hell is happening with Cahoot? Just opened an account and it has opened 19 accounts and still going? Had to spend 40 minutes on the phone to close the first 9 down but have now given up. Very stressful and concerned about a scam
-
BigBadBob (@Bobbadbig) reported@MsSC1986 @santanderuk Car *** was the same. Handed car back, started getting letters about arrears and dire consequences for credit rating. "Oh just ignore that, the system sends letter it's not supposed to. It's a known bug". Well ******* fix it then! Piss poor and a very poor advert for yourselves
-
Clippz (@Clippz) reported@santanderuk Why doesn't your chat feature work on your website. It has been broken for ages!
-
Clare Wiener (@ClareWiener) reported@santanderuk I've now rang 3 times. I ended the call the 1st time and went to the app as directed. It was no help. Have called back twice now & the call has been terminated by Santander on both occasions before anyone even spoke to me 🤬
-
rhoda roberts (@adhorstrebor) reported@sharrond62 I just had to tussle with @santanderuk when my 74 year cousin had huge problems downloading their app. After hours and hours of trying and battling AI for him, he was told to go to branch (50mile roundtrip)😬eventually got £200 compensation but I still had to take him 🤬🤬🤬
-
fiona landmann (@fifi758) reported@santanderuk so almost week 3 of trying to get my issue resolved, phone calls, messaging, emails still nothing ! A complaint was raised by one of your colleagues last week and now I have a wall of silence? Somebody please respond ?
-
glosuk68 (@glosuk68) reported@santanderuk Not only have you not opened your Leighton Buzzard branch today (and next weekend), your one outside cash machine is down. Thankfully the @AskNationwide is open and their machines are working.
