    @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 !!

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

    @santanderuk is there still a problem with card payments ?

  • BonesAndLace12 Hunter (@BonesAndLace12) reported

    @santanderuk We would like you to be pleased to help @MorganBroadcast ! Her money was stolen because of your poor security measures! Her pin was accessible within your app! There's no transparency, your strategy is poor, and your performance feels the same.

  • KarenMayNUW 🪷 Karen May 🪷 (@KarenMayNUW) reported

    @MorganBroadcast What an absolute mare. I am so sorry you had to go through this and not getting the support. @santanderuk are shocking - we have 2 major complaints being investigated at the moment, and both with the ombudsman. I hope someone pulls their finger out and sort this out for you 🤞🏼

  • TheAstrid79 alexm1979🌱 (@TheAstrid79) reported

    @MorganBroadcast I hope you get things sorted. Sounds horrendous. Worst thing I ever did was go to @santanderuk. My bank a known for their customer service, can recommend first direct. I won't go anywhere else now.

  • ThomasC44047913 weeDesbhoy (@ThomasC44047913) reported

    @theophilus21C @santanderuk You can access your card pin from the phone app. And yes, anyone who can access or clone your smart phone, IS YOU, to the bank. Don't know if its all banks, but defo Santander. Could tell you a few horror stories about that particular banks ' fraud prevention' decisions.

  • saaalliso Stephanie (@saaalliso) reported

    @MorganBroadcast @santanderuk you should be ******* ashamed of yourselves for putting the blame of this criminality on the VICTIM and for, when you are more than capable of helping, have done absolutely nothing other than show you don't actually care jack **** about your loyal customers 🖕

  • simonhcbenson Tax (@simonhcbenson) reported

    @MorganBroadcast @santanderuk This is because there will be a PIN reminder in your bank app on your phone I had a similar issue with @AmexUK But they held their hands up that.this was a flaw their end and did not charge me Sounds like Santander you do the same here

  • MichaelaTait8 Michaela Tait ❤️ 🎼🖌🦔🇺🇦 (@MichaelaTait8) reported

    @MorganBroadcast I’m so so sorry this happened to you. Please read @santanderuk You must act to help this lady.

  • JohnYani John Yani (@JohnYani) reported

    @MorganBroadcast @santanderuk So, a full day before you block a stolen SIM card?

  • WestieSpurs Westie (@WestieSpurs) reported

    @MorganBroadcast I have palpitations just reading this. It’s so awful. I bank with @santanderuk too, and would hope they would back their customer through your general banking transactions. Calling a mobile you have reported as stolen along with your cards is just beyond dumb. Hope it gets sorted

  • kaydavies34 Mrs D. (@kaydavies34) reported

    @MorganBroadcast Oh My God! This is so awful. This could happen to anyone and @santanderuk are acting terribly. I hope you get your money back and move banks!!! Can highly recommend @monzo x
