    @santanderukhelp The customer relations around this whole technical issue have been a complete fiasco @santanderuk and @santanderukhelp and I sincerely hope the plonker responsible for destroying thousands of peoples plans today is looking for another job on Monday morning !!

  • dana1smith Dana (@dana1smith) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @santanderuk is there still a problem with card payments ?

  • CasemoreMatt Matt Casemore (@CasemoreMatt) reported from Trimdon Foundry, England

    @santanderuk @santanderukhelp your customer service is appalling. Hanging up on the customer isn't very professional, is it. All we wanted to do was change our address!

  • danieljohnallis Daniel (@danieljohnallis) reported from Gateshead, England

    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!

  • sorchaodonneII sorcha (@sorchaodonneII) reported from Sunderland, England

    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 🫠

  • Kinsal2 sally🌻🇺🇦😷#FBPPE 🇪🇺 (@Kinsal2) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @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.

  • RTWRich RtwRich (@RTWRich) reported

    When 'chat' functions are so bad, it's quicker to go into branch to get an answer from @HSBC_UK @santanderuk @santanderukhelp Broken experience design, never-answered messages. Replacing old message systems that at least worked. All about mighty profit & extreme rewards for some?

  • Jacki_Jam Jacki Jam (@Jacki_Jam) reported

    As ever utterly sh*tty service from Santander @santanderuk @santanderukhelp 730pm and stuck on hold 30 mins already (with 1 nasty music box tune and no queue indicators) when you block my entire online banking access for a simple £100 online transaction even after OTP verify

  • WieserSoftware Anthony Wieser (@WieserSoftware) reported

    @santanderuk Only if you are already a customer...

  • AllNumbersGrea1 JenniferZN💫 (@AllNumbersGrea1) reported

    @LizChessher @santanderuk @santanderukhelp We did manage to get it sorted but it took weeks of going back and forth and getting passed around various support staff before we finally sent complaints directly to the company directors and got a more concrete answer. I share your pain and hopefully it gets sorted soon 🤞

  • Timmwellens Timm Wellens 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@Timmwellens) reported

    @santanderuk your chaps dept takes customer service to a new low. Vindictively deciding not to transfer customers money, not good. Missed completion date on house purchase. Shocking.

  • maxiejane ✿.*☆.Maxiejane.☆*.✿ (@maxiejane) reported

    @carleton_alan @santanderukhelp @santanderuk Hope you have had your issues resolved, they finally saw sense and unblocked my account! 🙌

  • gerful_G ₲Ʉ₦₦₳Ɽ (@gerful_G) reported

    @santanderuk disgraceful service is an understatement

  • tanie_madeleine Tanie S (@tanie_madeleine) reported

    @santanderuk how can it be that I am unable to search transactions via a person's name? Surely this must be an error on my part? If not please catch up with the world!

  • mc_craddock Michael Craddock (@mc_craddock) reported

    Terrible customer service from @santanderuk. Voting with my feet and moving to @VirginMoney

  • Fruitnamedlady Gem (@Fruitnamedlady) reported

    @santanderuk hello. Have you fixed the in branch issue of scanning the new driving licence yet pls? I can’t open an account because of it. I have bills stacking up.
