  @santanderuk our accents are all different and we can't sound like the automated voice in the telephone banking service. If you were going to use customers voice as passwords, you should have made provisions for various accents in a diversified UK.

  2/2 you then suggest get cash out, you’ve shut all the branches? Also no one takes cash anymore. You then suggest using my other accounts with you - that I have no cards for. So how do I pay for food? Absolutely disgusting service and I will be leaving @santanderuk

  1/2 So @santanderuk my account goes into arrears for 1 day - you then block my account and takes 5 days to unlock meaning I can’t use my own money!!! How do I feed kids/get petrol? You suggest bank transfer how does that work at a supermarket?

  Mick Holds the Line (@Mickandhismusic) reported 4 minutes ago

  @santanderuk Another thing to pass on is this weird glitch Santander online has with bank transfers . When I give my bank details to a client, they get the ‘we don’t recognise this account’. Even when it’s a Santander to Santander transfer! This issue has been going on for at least 1 year 👎

  William Poel (@wpoel) reported 5 minutes ago

  @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.

  @santanderuk my partner has asked that I reach out as she doesn’t have X She reported her card having suspicious activity & blocked! Her closest branch is 10miles away! She has been waiting for her card for 10 “working days” two wks in the real world! No card, no local bank?

  Wideawake (@wideawakebo) reported 9 minutes ago

  Been waiting 11 days for a replacement card from @santanderuk , told it must be a problem with @RoyalMail RM advised it could be another 7 days as that's normal for 2nd class, so just the 18 days, no big deal. Remember when stuff worked in the UK, more or less? #shitshow

  @santanderuk the “please call us so can help you” is a scam btw, next time be honest “please call us so we can do absolutely nothing expect give you inconsistent information & take time off your life”

  Oasis (@Oasisrvti) reported 13 minutes ago

  I wonder how long il be tweeting about how awful @santanderukhelp @santanderuk is and how much more they’re going to lie & do nothing. 4 days in counting. Access blocked, they have information, they are to lazy to review, staff say right to complain. Full of 💩

  cookaburra (@weyheylad) reported 13 minutes ago

  Don Smith (@authordssmith) reported 14 minutes ago

  @santanderuk @TSB You now have an even bigger bank with more customers that have to wait 3-5 working days for an email to clear. 2025 and they can’t process an email any quicker than that. Don’t make the mistake of banking with these incompetent people.
