Anna Pattenden (@CopybyAnna) reported from London, EnglandI seriously am shocked at @santanderuk - the people, many of them elderly and this probably means no access to online banking, standing for ages and ages in a queue in Lewisham branch. It is truly shameful…
-
gary watkinson (@WatkinsonGary) reported from Islington, England@santanderuk @santanderukhelp Been trying to report a fraud to you, been holding half the morning. About to hang up. Your service is not good enough. Obviously fraud is not a high priority to you.

Mrs L (@jo_1lesley) reported from Camberwell, EnglandDear @tesco or @santanderuk are you having any payment issues? I can't pay for my online shopping? (And yes, I do have sufficient funds) 😕
-
Nuclear Summer (@lizardUnicorn) reported from London, England@santanderuk are the worst. Completely ridiculous bunch of clowns. Just shut your private banking operation down if you can't be bothered to provide customer service.

Ruth Robinson (@RuthRobinsonLon) reported from Islington, EnglandIt’s hard me to putt into words how much I hate the customer service @santanderuk - their absolute contempt for women is breathtaking. I can’t understand how this doesn’t hurt their international brand or does this attitude emanate from Spain ! @bancosantander It’s perplexing
-
Ruth Robinson (@RuthRobinsonLon) reported from Islington, EnglandI order not to launch a non metaphorical attack against @santanderuk I limit myself to being brutally but politely honest about their customer service #sic on Twitter . I can’t understand how head office can allow their brand to be trashed by the UK division unless they are worse

David Crossinggum (@pmancat) reported from London, England@santanderuk A customer of yours, seriously ill with cancer. Never missed a single mortgage payment, but denied any assistance from you. Any explanation?

Dylan Buckley (@dylankbuckley) reported@hnjsamuels @santanderuk Barclays was the same. Ended up having to do over 3 days as they said it was literally impossible to transfer £60k in one go. Completely bananas.
-
Geronimog (@geronimo2497) reported@David90shaw This is already happening if you use mobile banking apps, with the threat of restricted access to said app if you don't comply and upload photo id, thus forcing you into branches that are closing on a daily basis @santanderuk the latest do this.
-
jo (@5arstudent) reported@santanderuk Zero. That’s the concerning thing. I have repeatedly asked your customer service team who have no even referred me on to the relevant department - one lady just said the department is called “the back office” I have 2 children under 8
-
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.

ADUK2025 (@ADUK2025) reported@BROKENBRITAIN0 My bank app wants this from me to use it already. @santanderuk They can **** off.
-
Chris (@Chrismorro1874) reported@santanderuk have the worst customer service I have ever experienced, quick enough to take your money but not one person wants to help you on the phone…shambles
-
Evee Carr (@EveeCarr) reported@santanderuk Bloody awful in branch service. One teller on. One transaction has taken 20 mins... Queue of 8... Pathetic.
-
mariam (@elghwliyah) reported@santanderuk your customer support is awful I have been trying to contact a real human being for almost an hour - I need to dispute a charge ASAP

William Poel (@wpoel) reported@claudelittner @santanderuk @cahoot Claude: I just got told in an email from Cahoot "Important Information - 25/05/2026 Dear MR ......... You may need to take action Please log on to your Online Banking as soon as possible. You have an important new document to read....." I haven't had contact with Cahoot for ~20 years and the task of exhuming old contact info (or anything else) is going to be vast. And if I do, 99% it will be spam or an offer to sell me something - not news of an error in my favour for £50k. Banks sending out these types of messages create a lot of hassle - and there needs to be a way of getting a fast track summary to determine if it is worth the effort.
