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.

AP (@andyparsons3) reported@santanderuk you said that yesterday and the day before. 3 days without access or an update is appalling way to treat your customers
-
Greg (@potatoe_greg) reported@santanderuk why are internal transfers on personal savings to bank accounts not working???
-
Chris (@Chrismorro1874) reported@santanderuk have the worst customer service I have ever experienced, quick enough to take your money but not one person wants to help you on the phone…shambles
-
William Poel (@wpoel) reported@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.

Diane Greger (@DianeGreger) reported@HWarlow @santanderuk Incompetent employees are hired mostly DEI and how no idea about customer service nor how to do the job correctly.

BigBadBob (@Bobbadbig) reported@MsSC1986 @santanderuk Car *** was the same. Handed car back, started getting letters about arrears and dire consequences for credit rating. "Oh just ignore that, the system sends letter it's not supposed to. It's a known bug". Well ******* fix it then! Piss poor and a very poor advert for yourselves

Ian Parkins (@parkinsi) reported@ForeverScept @santanderuk @antanddec It's so sad to see the English language massacred daily on Twitter. Slow down and check your work.

Sohail (@sohailnaeem2) reported@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!

Chris May (@cp_ma24524562) reported@santanderuk #santander can you image a bank with no customer service support? Send messages in the app, but don’t let you upload information. From a customer who went through advanced security for my last transaction 🤯
