  @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.

  Using a UK bank, @santanderuk in my case, I have to click 3 times "Yes, I am sure what I am doing, not, I am not being scammed, just make the fking transaction." This is what happens when government overregulates stuff. UX drops to absolute ****.

  @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.

  Before I go full throttle over @santanderuk and the awful service they provide please do not take my word for it all. READ A FEW REVIEWS ON @Trustpilot first.

  @santanderuk branch in Oxford. More like a coffee shop than a branch. Directed upstairs to wait and left for ages. This does not add value to the end customer. Wtf have you done? 🤔🙄😔😡

  @santanderuk @TSB You absolute cowards. Your complaints person just called me and then hung up - on a bank holiday - except I can't call you back - because it's a bank holiday! Disgusting customer service!
