  • 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 🫠

  • 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!

  • 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 !!

    @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.

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

    @santanderuk is there still a problem with card payments ?

    Your online service is awful! I dread having to call you! Your online banking is Stone Age! I can't wait to move! @santanderuk

  • cvwallis Claire Wallis (@cvwallis) reported

    @santanderuk can you issue what’s happening re card payments? I cant make any payments with either of my cards

  • lisoruss Lisoruss (@lisoruss) reported

    @santanderuk I have just been cut off mid call by one of your agents then cut off again as soon as I was connected on my next call. Your customer services are terrible!

  • polyp2000 polyp2000(⧖) (@polyp2000) reported

    @santanderuk cancelled all my cards thus preventing me from transferring my account to @AskNationwide . Given that the reason i went into the branch to resolve an issue relating to an account switch. The person i dealt knowingly did that or does not know how to do her job.

  • WarriorsDenny Denny Warriors FC (@WarriorsDenny) reported

    @santanderuk @BankofScotland @HSBC_UK why can you help us?

  • seetar123 Seeta Rashid (@seetar123) reported

    @santanderuk unacceptable service. Take my money, don’t exchange it as agreed and then won’t refund it. Instead @santanderuk refuse responsibility and tell me to contact their 3rd party. I require my money to get married next week and you have stolen it.

  • StuartJones7 Stuart Jones (@StuartJones7) reported

    So @santanderuk block my business accounts, make me hold online for 30 minutes and then when I finally get through, they then ask me to answer questions about recent transactions... which I can only answer if I could have access to my online banking... which they have blocked. 🤯

  • Mosaliee Rosie Posie 🦎 (@Mosaliee) reported

    @santanderuk pls help. I am trying to get on the app to move some money and it says "we have stopped the app as you seem to have an app that isnt secure"????

  • L100Peter Peter Latimer (@L100Peter) reported

    @santanderuk - Neil came back to me and promised a response within 48 hrs. What sort of **** is this? If they can't nip the problems in the bud they're on their way to an early bath!
