I tried to make a withdrawal for 150,000 pesos from the Santander ATM but no money came out of the machine. When I checked my bank account I found the money had been withdrawn from my account. I went inside the bank and told the staff what happened but they didn't help me. They told me to contact my own bank. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN USING Santander ATMs.

Awful service.....can't even be bothered to type my reason as they don't deserve any extra time. Would score 0 if I could.

Almost one year later and Santander have still not fulfilled their T&Cs – I’m still owed a £50 voucher for an ISA transfer over to them. I have followed this up with them multiple times with still no luck in them fulfilling their obligations. The time and effort involved is not worth the £50 I am trying to retrieve. They also make it incredibly difficult to contact them – no option of an email. Instead you have to wait a stupid amount of time to be connected to someone on the phone. You have to go through a ridiculous automated process and just try your luck to get connected to an actual human being. I will move my ISA next month and never bank with Santander again

Never used my card yet but I was blocked from mobile and online banking and are not able to resolve the issue after keeping you over the phone for several hours. Will need you to waste your time going to the bank to bring documents

Brought a 93-year-old neighbor to change account, they requested his last will and testament! I being power of attorney was asked to leave the bank and had nothing to add to my neighbors statements. I was told to leave the bank and wait outside,They are very rude very rude!! Stay away from this Bank!

They have no kind of regulation and are quite unreliable. A few years back, I made a bad deposit of my hard-earned money, and as if it were a well-practiced scam, I was immediately locked out of my account. Worse, they could not be reached at all by their so-called customer support department. I implore you to stay away from these dishonest people and spare yourself the hassle. I was able to recover all of my funds and profit within a few days because of CONCEPTSTRD assistance. Give them a TRY!

Just lost out on a hotel booking down to the transaction pending for four days now. Bank continously blaming the Companies, yet nationwide or HSBC has never given me this issue after being with them for over twenty years. Passing the book isn't helpful to the customer and what's more annoying is when staff sound robotic, when you challenge them all they do is repeat what they have told you several times, you tell them you understand them however there is a dilemma here, they just go off and repeat themselves again. It's very long winded and unnecessary.

I had bought a car. At the time I was going through a bankruptcy. I then decide to withdraw my caes through bankruptcy. They wouldn't take a pymt for 5 months. Never heard one word. No phone calls or anything. Well I thought they put the 5 months on the end. Then continued to pay every month. They had my car repoed and expects me to pay 3600 dollars to get it. It's completely ridiculous that don't tell anyone what's going on. Now I can't get any of my belongings out of the car cause the repo people don't want to answer the phone. Almost everything I own is in the car and I can't get noone to reply.

Opened a current account, have received a card & pin but I'm unable to register for online banking as the 1st customer service agent said that the wrong DOB was registered, even though I had posted copies of my passport, driving licence & a form with it on, she asked me to call into a branch to confirm my ID which I refused as they already have a copy. I was placed on hold for 20mins whilst she spoke to the accounts team. I was then cut off. Phone call no2, customer service assistant confirmed I have the correct DOB on an old account but not on the new one? & a note on my account saying the accounts team require me to attend a branch with my ID, when they already have a copy of my ID? No explanation why I didn't get a call back after being cut off. Very poor customer service, really unhelpful, I won't be using this account.

For twelve years I had a Santander account. Problems only started when I was made executor for a friend. Santander don't provide executor accounts, so the money was transferred to my personal account. When I tried to pay the major beneficiary, my account was frozen, which was inconvenient as I was moving at the time. Three conversations with the bank's fraud department ensued, in which I seemed to be a suspect in this 'fraud'. They were only satisfied when I provided copies of the grant of probate, the will and the accounts. I transferred £9,000 to my building society account, but that was blocked until I provided a satisfactory explanation. Santander is over-zealous in seeing fraud everywhere. Customer relations come a poor second. Avoid

After opening up my first account in 1978 (Previously Abbey National they took it over) I went into Santander Bank to Pay in some cash however my card would not work? So I went into the branch, and was told my account had been closed as it was dormant, I would need to get all my statements and call them, so I did. 3 weeks later the statements arrived by post, I called them and 3 of there phone numbers are not in service? I eventually spoke with a guy that told me that all 3 of my accounts have been closed, They did write to me, however all my money had now been given to charity! from my ISSA Savings and Current Account, How can they do this? I could not believe this. Its like putting your car in the Garage, and because you do not drive it for 14 months Audi Take it Back. Is this for real? Don't Trust Them at All.
