  @MorganBroadcast @santanderuk I have just shown her your tweet and she has sensibly decided against an account with @santanderuk . The last thing anyone should feel is that this is the kind of Customer Service that you would recieve if you found yourself the victim of a crime.

  Anyone who banks with @santanderuk having issues with payments declining due to the 3D authentication failing, but it’s not actually giving you an OTP or asking you to authorise the payment on the santander app? Don’t know what to do 🫠

  Sort it out @santanderuk since you changed from Visa to Mastercard, it’s been nothing but issues. My account isn’t working today. Good job this isn’t my main account and I have a couple of current accounts with other banks. As soon as my savings interestrate runs out I’m leaving!

  The ******* crooks @santanderuk have put a block on my bank account without ANY warning because I didn’t change my contact details due to them already being correct. Absolute ******* scumbags.

  @santanderuk your chat facility is terrible. It just send you to a messaging service and then no one replies. You would think trying to get help paying off your balance would be easy but two days later I have had no contact and the app isn’t working

  If you're thinking of banking with Santander for your business - DON'T They recently put their standard account fees UP by 42.5 % Hey @santanderuk, enjoy losing another business customer.

  @IsntWorkingPod @HeadWarriorTWM @santanderuk D, obvs! Plus terrible optics given the current situation, which although totally unrelated is so jarring with his frivolous & mocking-like tone.

  @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.

  @DrChrisParry @santanderuk If waiting an HOUR on the 'fraud' line, is the problem, then yes.
