Thieves

1
In 2019 this bank closed my account and stole near £4k from me, this was due to an issue with a payees bank account, said payee sent me £600, but santander decided it was ok to steal all of my money in the account, almost 4k as stated. I have provided them with all of the proof regarding the legitimacy of the £600 transaction time and time again but they just want to pass me around and keep asking for the same information!!! This bank is stealing our money without being held to account. I am determined to get my money back but they are not making it easy!!!!! Reviewed on: 13th March 2022

Worst bank ever.

Blocked my card and now I can't buy any food or dinner til Monday, the worst bank and customer service ever. Reviewed on: 12th March 2022

SECURITY AND WEBSITE

5
Santander is very much on the ball regarding branch withdrawals and website money transfers. Gives their customers peace of mind during transactions on the website and also whilst withdrawing cash at the local branch. I have also had dealings on the phone and were very helpful. I cannot fault their service or the 123 Current Account. Reviewed on: 12th March 2022

Awful Customer service

1
In a queue for 40 mins. Customer Service is so poor. Reviewed on: 11th March 2022

Hopeless customer service

1
Expect it to take up to 30 minutes to finally talk with a person. Meanwhile you have to listen to awful music and a woman who tells you ever 15 seconds how sorry she is Reviewed on: 11th March 2022
