The only reason I installed this app was to attempt to restore notifications to show that payments have gone in. I was disappointed when Santander ceased these notifications in May, but I wrongly thought that they could be reconfigured via the app - how wrong I was !!. Please restore those notifications ? Response - but they are not the messages I want. I am fed up with repeatedly accessing the app just to see when certain payments are in - it is important also for those who do NOT want an app.

Hi Anne, By using our app and online banking services which are available 24/7, we believe customers will have a more detailed view of their account activity this way. Customers will still continue to receive certain alerts. We're listening to all customer feedback and we're always keen to know how we can do better. Thanks for your feedback. ^ FD

EDIT 100825 ~ Well, after (checks edit history) a YEAR and 4 months, the widget returns ('shortly' eh). Naturally it's ridiculously large, glowing white and the 'refresh' circular arrow works when it pleases, but yeah - we got there, eventually. As for the rest of the app: everything seems long winded, changing a payee reference process is just silly, and WHY are there accounts and their respective cards on the home screen?? Seriously, sub menus, Barclays and Nationwide can do it, why can't you?

Hi Simon, we are still working on bringing back the widget. Please keep an eye on this for future updates. ^TC

Generally I like Santander but there's many teething issues that don't seem to be rectified. Is the balance widget meant to be working now? Been waiting a long time. Mine and my friend's doesn't work. Says 'Something went wrong, widget is currently unavailable'. Also sometimes when sending payments, balances don't immediately update, so I'm left unsure if a payment was sent, or what the actual balance is. Sometimes closing and opening the app corrects this but it's just laborious in big 2025.
