  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • Bryan_1973 bryan joyce (@Bryan_1973) reported

    @santanderuk 2 hours on the phone (and counting) to get a payment cancelled to a vendor that failed to deliver. Also tried using your form….but that wont accept the format of the emails I have. Why,are you making this so difficult? Time to find another provider! Terrible

  • MarkLawler Mark Lawler (@MarkLawler) reported

    Come on @santanderuk ! Treat your customers fairly by not making us wait for over an hour on the phone, cutting us off, having no call-back service, then making it impossible to book an appointment in a branch! #badcustomerservice

  • bengomori 🦦Ben Gomori / G. Markus🦦 (@bengomori) reported

    @santanderuk still having problems in Chrome on my business account. Whenever I go to the access payees screen it just goes blank. I’m not accessing from a bookmark…

  • BehartOBlock Ali Delius (@BehartOBlock) reported

    @santanderuk terrible service. Tried to withdraw cash. Went to 2 branches closed. Customer service appalling. 3 calls due to being cut off. 4 hours later no cash. Adviser could not get an answer from a branch I suggested. “I can’t help you” still ringing in my ears!

  • tomfooled James Moore (@tomfooled) reported

    Getting increasingly frustrated with @santanderuk - unable perform transactions online and no chat or phone customer service agents available, nor can they help me in branch. A global financial institution should have ways of actually performing financial transactions!

  • Duncyano Duncan Hall (@Duncyano) reported

    @MartinSLewis The auto messages are like a maze to get to speak to a human, options after options which more often than not end up with a message to look for the answer on the website @santanderuk @santanderukhelp are the worst it’s nigh on impossible to speak to anyone

  • Toontone100 ToonTone100 (@Toontone100) reported

    @santanderuk You HAVE to be better than that ! The responses just received during a phone call regarding a failed transaction (at your end !) …. Put your customer setvices right man ! 🙄

  • tesssummers98 Tess Summers 🇬🇧🇮🇪 (@tesssummers98) reported

    @robert32500998 @santanderuk Someone else posted about similar problems the other day. Maybe you should transfer the whole lot to another bank. Who do these people think they are? It's your money

  • JaneMortgages Jane Farley (@JaneMortgages) reported

    @CStewart_CS @santanderukhelp @santanderuk I work in financial services and it's not uncommon to be on hold for over an hour. Our staff wear headsets so they can carry on working while waiting for the phone to get answered or we'd lose hours of the day. Theyll blame covid but it's been poor for a lot longer!

  • JostevoJo Jo Stevenson (@JostevoJo) reported

    @santanderuk As a Santander customer, I loathe these ridiculous, unfunny ads. I'd like my money spent on something else - like lower bank charges.
