  @santanderuk can't get through on phone, you're helping other people but not me! Why not have a system so we know where we are in the queue? At least we know someone might answer us. No joy on the online chat either. Awful customer service. Gave up.

  @santanderuk I have just hung up after being on hold for the past 1 hour 23 minutes. You have the very worst history of phone times I have ever known. I wanted to sort my issue online but was unable to as your app is awful. You closed the local branch. You are beyond useless.

  Dear @santanderuk, Closing at 12.30 on Friday is not customer service! Not opening until 10 am on Monday isn't enough. I was outside your door, just now, ready to pay a BIG bill. No, l don't bank online, l like to talk to people. But you don't want to chat! #notcustomerservice

  Key stats from @santanderuk's Q1 2023 results: Mortgage applications down 37% as it expects house prices to fall back to 2021 levels. Meanwhile customer deposits fell by £5.1bn and while savers have "low average balances", it revealed 16% are NOT covered by the @FSCS scheme

  @santanderuk Thanks for the apologies, it would be better if management knew we were thinking of leaving because we won't wait 20 mins every time we need to speak to someone with a problem that can't be resolved with a pointless chat bot or automated system.

  @santanderuk @TSB You are not changing @santanderuk. I am having a nightmare with your telephone banking. Can someone in social please help me?

  @santanderuk I need some help on an issue…I closed my account with you in June 2025 which was all finished as I live in Indonesia. However I have just had a refund for a UK purchase actioned and they have refunded to the original card…now closed? What now?

  @AskVirginMoney It didn't. I rang the number, it said to fill in the form online and to wait 30 days. Why are you so terrible with service? @NatWestGroup @santanderuk want a new customer?

  @santanderuk @TSB Whoever looked at the ID couldn't understand maiden name had changed despite marriage certificate being sent nor could they prove my daughter *** infact my child despite several forms of proof. Eventually got an apology for the error but she's closing the account now.

  @santanderuk you're just proving my decision to move more. You've put my account on hold again (presumably because I am trying to switch providers to @LloydsBank) and now another 10+ minute hold for someone who struggles to use the phone or go to a branch because you don't properly support RelayUK #accessibilitymatters

  @santanderuk now says they can’t refund me until the fraud is “confirmed” — which violates PSR refund rules. I’ve submitted info, I’m vulnerable, and this is day 4. @psrpayments @financialombuds I need help. #fraudrefund #psr #Santander
