  • lizardUnicorn 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.

  • youvsyoultd Ahmed Mohammed (@youvsyoultd) reported from Tottenham, England

    @santanderukhelp @santanderuk I’ve contacted your customer service team twice.

  • palmsjane1965 Jane palmer (@palmsjane1965) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    @alex_thfc22 @Barclays @santanderuk Working in banking you need Santander to deal with it as they will be able to locate the payment, Barclays won’t.

  • Janietip Jane Tippett (@Janietip) reported from Tottenham, England

    @santanderuk is there a problem with on line banking. Logging on and keep loosing connection. Not happening with other websites

  • Olivia121994_ OD 💚 (@Olivia121994_) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @santanderuk is your app down? Trying to do a transfer and keeps crashing.

  • Scottmaintain Scott Maintenance (@Scottmaintain) reported from Rickmansworth, England

    @santanderuk I see Virgin accounts now let you take a picture of a cheque for paying in, when are we going to get this? John (unhappy cheque receiving Santander customer)

  • MissKristy_LH Miss Kristy 🇮🇪 (@MissKristy_LH) reported from Tottenham, England

    @MorganBroadcast @santanderuk Nevermind, I have just read through the thread and noticed many @Barclays shout outs all over the thread with responses from them. I will be going there. 👍 Hope this issue gets sorted for you.

  • CopybyAnna Anna Pattenden (@CopybyAnna) reported from London, England

    I 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…

  • marchartog Marc Hartog (@marchartog) reported from Radlett, England

    Can’t quite believe I am taking to twitter to get someone @santanderuk to talk to me about a major banking error (theirs) that needs urgent attention. Only been a customer for 40 years. Hours on hold, cut offs, no calls back, for 5 days - just call me!@jaydunne81 @santanderukhelp

  • PatrickKeyte Patrick Keyte (@PatrickKeyte) reported from London Colney, England

    @santanderuk I’ve been trying to apply for a loan all day and once I put the OTP in your site breaks, this has happened numerous times. I can’t use another browser because it asks for a landline number which I do not have.

  • lucy230114 Lucy C (@lucy230114) reported

    @BarclaysUK I went and drew money out of a @santanderuk cash machine but never got the money! I’m now down on my account and have no money! Can’t get through to anyone and the app doesn’t help at all! Not happy

  • RussellWood255 Russell Wood (@RussellWood255) reported

    ATM swallowed my @HSBC_UK card for no reason when my account has a healthy balance. Need cash for my son’s birthday surprise today. Not even a ‘sorry’ from customer services. Will be closing all my accounts this week. Hello @santanderuk - you’re getting a new customer!

  • elderberry767 XR (@elderberry767) reported

    Would strongly suggest everyone close their @santanderuk accounts and move elsewhere. They're once again going to be trying to block crypto and dictate how we can spend our money. It's clear they have anti crypto bias when they block that but freely allow gambling/betting sites.

  • carolinekay306 Caroline Kay (@carolinekay306) reported

    @santanderuk Any ideas why my app hasn’t worked all day …… and yes I did update then tried the fix all method switch off and on again …..help me please !!!!!

  • Scottymillar Scott Millar (@Scottymillar) reported

    @DeanRobinson4 @santanderuk I think there just might be bigger issues in the world right now than, whether you can access your bank card

  • killerofwatches Claire Ann Teresa (@killerofwatches) reported

    @santanderuk the Ant and Dec adverts have made me question banking with you for some time, considering that at least one of them is a massive Tory & a drink driver, but the latest one is so god awful it may actually be the last straw. #embarassedforyou

  • sarahjvirgo Sarah Virgo (@sarahjvirgo) reported

    @santanderuk utterly abysmal service. Despite physically handing over 3 forms of identity in a branch over a week ago & posting copies 3 weeks ago, my credit card application is expired and has left a mark on my file. I'd call to complain but last time i did i was cut offr

  • Nick54549846 Francis (Frank) Llewelyn "Ponch" Poncherello (@Nick54549846) reported

    @santanderuk Who ******** are you to tell us what to do with our money regarding Crypto exchanges? It’s our hard earned money! I’m leaving soon! I’m sure a lot of others will be leaving too! Cheeky bastards!

  • sytaylor Simon Taylor (@sytaylor) reported

    @BanklessHQ @santanderuk No They have a massive fraud loss problem. And so do their customers. Banks are rational actors and would allow transactions if it made them money. Crypto has a MASSIVE fraud problem nobody wants to talk about.

  • sytaylor Simon Taylor (@sytaylor) reported

    @BanklessHQ @santanderuk The question is how do we help users who are being scammed. Some good things happening in wallets and CeFi exchanges. But it's not connected to Banks. That's a fixable problem
