    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!

  • 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.

  • 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 !!

  • 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!

    @santanderuk is there still a problem with card payments ?

    @santanderuk trying to make a chargeback claim via online banking but it tells me to make sure my details are up to date. I have confirmed this but still having issues (note that the mobile number is showing as "-" on the dispute page). What can I do?

  • shome_bag Shome Bag (@shome_bag) reported

    @HSBC_UK pathetic experience at HSBC Edinburgh Hanover street branch while trying to open a bank a/c for my son. It’s clear the bank is run by pseudos and bastards given I am a 20 year old customer.Thank you @santanderuk for opening the a/c within 30min #avoidhsbc

  • smevergance Stuart Mills (@smevergance) reported

    Terrible service from @santanderuk today. It took 35 mins to get my call answered (to report fraud) and was then told that I was being transferred to the fraud team but was again put in a hold queue. I gave up after an hour!! #badservice

  • Rchards Richard Stirling (@Rchards) reported

    @carolinefiennes @santanderuk @fletcherr I do for outgoing but haven’t used it for incoming payments. Just absolutely staggered by how bad the service from Santander has been. They are sat on a non-trivial amount of money with seemingly no way to access it…

  • 1Petewhite Peter White (@1Petewhite) reported

    @santanderuk Credit card section get you fingers out your arses and answer the ****ing phones, you as useless as a fart in a space suit, if not worse. Mike Regnier  get off your arse and sort you customer service out... its **** to say the least. Everyone move to another bank!!

  • LeeasElvis Lee Newsome as Elvis (@LeeasElvis) reported

    @fiona_parker14 I rang @santanderuk yesterday for mortgage help and they said there'as absolutely nothing we can do and to make sure i paid the mortgage or the house would be repossessed

  • Fwdmgmt2 Fwdmgmt (@Fwdmgmt2) reported

    Two days after switching from @firstdirect to @santanderuk and it has been farcical. No access to my accounts and extremely poor customer service.

  • laurachurch1 Bodybuddiesuk (@laurachurch1) reported

    @MetroBank_Help @santanderuk We have tried this! Our company is Phillips group, my husband will have to let every member of staff go this Friday if he can not access money to pay wages. The mental stress this is causing is unreal.

  • bromers_ Richard Bromley (@bromers_) reported

    @santanderuk an hour and a half waiting in a phone queue, and still no answer. Fairly urgent issue, can't wait any longer.

  • mmmmmrob Rob Styles (@mmmmmrob) reported

    Just had to use the @santanderuk online banking website to help a friend sort out some mistakes. Wow that is truly awful. I would close the account if it were mine, the UX is that bad.
