    @santanderuk is there still a problem with card payments ?

  • 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!

  • 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 🫠

  • craigkelly1969 Craig Kelly. 🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈 (@craigkelly1969) reported from Newburn, England

    @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!

    Hey @santanderuk one of the main reasons we bank with you and have remained loyal has been amazing customer service & being able to speak to someone on your phone line straight away. My husband has now been on hold for 30 minutes. Any explanation for this change?

  • Fran115MW MatrixAnalysis (@Fran115MW) reported

    being, they are clearly harbouring clients money with no intention of returning it IMO. @santanderuk please can you sort this out and requisition the money back to my account forthwith. Please direct message me and I can provide details, as this will have to go down as a fraud

  • brittania_hmh brittania.hmh (@brittania_hmh) reported

    @DyHardPro @santanderuk Awful service to those who are having difficulties when out of the UK

  • SoniaBhogal Sonia Bhogal (@SoniaBhogal) reported

    Diabolical service from @santanderuk @santanderukhelp today. After 1hr 7 mins on the phone I had to hang up and use my @Barclaycard Visa Credit instead.

  • KittyHenton Kitty (@KittyHenton) reported

    @Maxamilliano3 @santanderuk Same here. In supermarket. Manager made out it was my problem. Kind of glad it’s not just me affected!!

  • Tom22Beale TomBeale (@Tom22Beale) reported

    @santanderuk I need a bank statement outside of my usual schedule for issuing statements in order to complete purchase of a property, online chat does not recognise this problem. Can you help?

  • blightybibi Bibi (@blightybibi) reported

    @santanderuk just poor customer service at the moment! Why don’t you have enough people answering the phones?

  • IBerinstain Ignacio Berinstain (@IBerinstain) reported

    @santanderuk instead of jumping on the ukraine band wagon why dont you sort out your customer service for UK customers.. the phone line cut out as soon as I got through and started speaking after waiting 40 minutes. DISGUSTING

  • heaven_eco Eco Heaven (@heaven_eco) reported

    @santanderuk are you having issues with Mastercard debit cards not working? Mine was declined and asking for authorisation today.

  • duncgreenfinger Duncan Jones (@duncgreenfinger) reported

    Absolute joke @santanderuk I’ve been on the phone 53 minutes first time, no response. Second time 43 minutes, connected but no one picked up. I have a issue with my card and currently while out at the shops
