  Patrick Keyte (@PatrickKeyte) reported 19 seconds ago 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.

  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

  @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.

  @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.

  Stuart Barker (@stubarkermfc) reported 2 minutes ago

  @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.

  @santanderuk another **** bank been sat in a queue for about 20mins no answer

  Carolyn Eley (@CarolynEley2) reported 5 minutes ago

  @santanderuk you have sloppy security procedures. Should it really take 15 minutes to try to log in?? Disgraceful service

• 
  Tim B. (@The_Swell_Shark) reported 8 minutes ago

  @santanderuk Thanks for responding, but I've already used that tool. The issue itself is with capturing the photo of the cheque. No matter what angle, light or background, your app won't complete the process. Awful. Just awful. 👍

  Shirley (@SJacks61) reported 9 minutes ago

  My husband died. The administration is difficult at the best of times (and these are my worst of time) but @santanderuk has been superb and @HSBC_UK absolutely awful - they could learn so much from Santander.

  Clare Wiener (@ClareWiener) reported 13 minutes ago

  @santanderuk I've now rang 3 times. I ended the call the 1st time and went to the app as directed. It was no help. Have called back twice now & the call has been terminated by Santander on both occasions before anyone even spoke to me 🤬

  Sarah (@MsSC1986) reported 16 minutes ago

  Dear @santanderuk please fix your mortgage arrears emails. I’ve made a payment plan, so don’t send me an email asking me to either pay in full or call to make an arrangement. It’s not too hard to set the system to check whether I’m sticking to the plan or not.

  @santanderukhelp @santanderuk I went to Santander high street branch and the customer service person said the only proof of ID accepted is passport or driving licence. Santander is excluding a section of community who do not fly and do not drive. Many pensioners & neurodiversed!

  @santanderuk hi. You’re impossible to contact! I need to email you or speak to a human but I can’t get past your useless AI bot.

  Heather Self (@hselftax) reported 17 minutes ago

  Why is it so difficult to get past automated bank systems? I want to make a payment which is outside the parameters of the app, but getting out of the doom loop of “did you know you can do this on the app” is almost impossible. Thanks (not) @santanderuk .
