  2/2 you then suggest get cash out, you’ve shut all the branches? Also no one takes cash anymore. You then suggest using my other accounts with you - that I have no cards for. So how do I pay for food? Absolutely disgusting service and I will be leaving @santanderuk

  1/2 So @santanderuk my account goes into arrears for 1 day - you then block my account and takes 5 days to unlock meaning I can’t use my own money!!! How do I feed kids/get petrol? You suggest bank transfer how does that work at a supermarket?

  Matt Tomkin - Tao (@matt_tomkin) reported 45 minutes ago from Bury, England

  Why can you apply for a loan, get a loan and have the money without speaking to anyone. Yet to pay it off you have to sit on the phone for 6 days with **** on hold music?? @santanderuk @NatWest_Help

  @santanderuk could you please get more people on your phones, I've tried to speak to someone 3 times this morning, spent I've 45 minutes on hold. Luckily I'm not one of your customers who need urgent help, you need to do better #CostOfLivingCrisis

  @santanderuk our accents are all different and we can't sound like the automated voice in the telephone banking service. If you were going to use customers voice as passwords, you should have made provisions for various accents in a diversified UK.

  @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?

  @santanderuk Another thing to pass on is this weird glitch Santander online has with bank transfers . When I give my bank details to a client, they get the ‘we don’t recognise this account’. Even when it’s a Santander to Santander transfer! This issue has been going on for at least 1 year 👎

  Precyshun (@precyshun) reported 10 minutes ago

  @santanderuk Still waiting for an update from ‘Mark’ wondering if he is imaginary at this point. Numerous emails trying to ensure payment was not taken and it now has been! Frustrated is not even the word now - SORT YOUR **** OUT SANTANDER

  Oasis (@Oasisrvti) reported 14 minutes ago

  @santanderuk the “please call us so can help you” is a scam btw, next time be honest “please call us so we can do absolutely nothing expect give you inconsistent information & take time off your life”

  Appalling service at @santanderuk in #Oxford Ridiculous and unclear ‘queuing’ system for the counters. Left waiting despite there being no other customers.

• 
  Egg Box (@EggBoxOfTricks) reported 18 minutes ago

  @IsntWorkingPod @HeadWarriorTWM @santanderuk D, obvs! Plus terrible optics given the current situation, which although totally unrelated is so jarring with his frivolous & mocking-like tone.

  @santanderuk @santanderukhelp I keep getting notifications saying I need to confirm my identity, then in my app nowhere to do it HELP

• 
  Tyler (@Empty_With_You) reported 19 minutes ago

  @santanderuk This is more than frustration. I had ONE text asking me to confirm my details were correct, I went on the app, my details are correct, there was NOTHING to confirm & NO warning that you’d block my account & prevent me from getting MY money.

  KevinB (@KevinUTO1867) reported 19 minutes ago

  @MartinSLewis - @santanderuk have rejected my bank account switch bonus claiming my DD’s aren’t on their eligible “list”. One DD is a payment to my local council and the other is the @PostcodeLottery. Have you heard of such an issue?

  @santanderuk when are you going to Reinstate your Online Customer Alerts for when a new Credit arrives in our ac? I asked this Q two years ago and all I got was ‘yes we’re working on it’. The ‘you’re overdrawn’ alerts still come through unfailingly. Really poor from Santander 👎
