• 
  Jen (@jenofthejenjen) reported 17 minutes ago from Bromley, England

  @santanderukhelp Out of the blue - bam, no reason but app access locked. All cards declined. No access to money. Sorry, but Santander needs 48 hours to figure this out (or in my case, 3 months & counting!) Guess you’ll just have to be homeless. Love to see Ant & Dec act that one out! @santanderuk

  Calling the customer care line for @santanderuk makes you lose the will to live. I hung up after the third time the automated voice told me to inexplicably make a recording of my own voice for “security purposes”.

  @AmySharrocks @santanderuk Left them years ago. Terrible bank. Hope you get it sorted. Presumably there’s a banking ombudsman?

  Dear @tesco or @santanderuk are you having any payment issues? I can't pay for my online shopping? (And yes, I do have sufficient funds) 😕

  @santanderuk @santanderukhelp I was making an online payment from my 123 account when I suddenly get a message that access is blocked! On hold now trying to get through to the helpdesk for 1 hour and counting.. #CustomerService #Santander #whatajoke

  @santanderuk closing my local pets wood branch is one thing. The ATM not working properly is a nightmare. 3x Now I haven't been able to pay cash in via machine. If you would prefer me to take my acc elsewhere. You only have to ask

  @santanderuk No thanks. I'll just look into switching my account to a bank that actually gives a ****.

• 
  Try Type (@try_type) reported 3 minutes ago

  @santanderuk Put the phone down. 1hr plus wait isn’t acceptable. No problem plenty of other banks.

  Chris (@Chrismorro1874) reported 3 minutes ago

  @santanderuk have the worst customer service I have ever experienced, quick enough to take your money but not one person wants to help you on the phone…shambles

  The Chaos Lounge (@chaosprimeZ) reported 4 minutes ago

  @PixelPrincessRG @santanderuk Im just so annoyed ya know, this will impact my next 2 months now. £1k might not be a lot for some but its what im budgeting especially with the schools opening next week. Its hit heavier this month and having that money returned i didnt spend would help a lot.

  Garry Peat (@RidgewayRam) reported 4 minutes ago

  @santanderuk Yes we will email you but this needs reporting to FSCS and financial ombudsman as the service we are getting is nothing short of appalling. Promises to call back but don’t and still can’t access our money despite requesting a transfer to an account in the same name …. Sigh 😞

  Otis, Flash & Rainbow Benji & Charlie🌈 (@Otis_labrador) reported 5 minutes ago

  Mum is regretting changing bank account to @santanderuk The app crashes every time she tries to verify her ID. The AI chat can't help. Over 50 mins on hold to speak to the call centre then they hung up 🤬 Of course the nearest branch only opens once a week when Mum is at work.

  Heather Self (@hselftax) reported 6 minutes ago

  Why is it so difficult to get past automated bank systems? I want to make a payment which is outside the parameters of the app, but getting out of the doom loop of “did you know you can do this on the app” is almost impossible. Thanks (not) @santanderuk .

  @santanderuk what the hell is happening with Cahoot? Just opened an account and it has opened 19 accounts and still going? Had to spend 40 minutes on the phone to close the first 9 down but have now given up. Very stressful and concerned about a scam

  @SickSide3 @santanderuk Now he’s 16, he’ll likely need photo ID more and more. He’s of working age, so good time to sort out photo ID for him. Bus pass? Rail card? Passport? He has none of these?

  @santanderuk @santanderukhelp Santander today restricted my account, they have bullied me , put huge stress and pressure on me, and they with no doubt have broken FCA rules , it's utterly disgusting that a bank can do this to someone who had been with the bank 15 years plus. @TheFCA
