★★★★ Dima Urban 4/17/2026
I cannot even imagine how this mobile application might be so ugly, inefficient and bloated.
★★★★ Alex Mzrv 4/11/2026 v10.24.54
yo no quiero recibir notificaciones promocionales del banco y de terceros. El cliente debe estar en control de las notificaciones que recibe. si no se arregla, cierro la cuenta del banco
★★★★ Roberto Benéitez Vaquero 4/7/2026 v10.24.54
Quitad las sucesivas pantallas de configurar touchID, geolocalización y fondo de pantalla cada vez que inicio sesión. No, no quiero tener que dejar guardado mi inicio sesión para que estas ventanas no aparezcan. La app se cierra si sales para copiar y pegar un num de telf pero el promt de solicitar acceso a la agenda siempre sale. No, tampoco quiero darte acceso a mi agenda. ++Lentísima, no cargan las ventanas tratando de hacer un Bizum. En alguno de los reintentos, va cargando.

New update is utterly shite.
★★★★ Maggie Figueroa 3/25/2026 v10.21.54

★★★★ Andrey Volk 3/24/2026 v10.24.54
Going to close my account right after opening. No English support by phone. Sent money to my new account and it shows 0 still. Transactions are shown as incoming and have amounts but 0 total still. Different banks just tell me that santander declines incoming transfers. Everything looks active on web, not blocked. I don't want to know why my new account does not work. I just want my few euros that I sent to get back. And then close the account. What a joke. I value my time. Santander does'nt
★★★★ Süleyman Gölbol 3/24/2026 v10.24.54
Ya no puedo ver gastos mensuales, ni siquiera en agenda financiera. Solo ensaña el salario pero no gastos. Además ya no se muestra el tema de la app com el gasto mensual
★★★★ Emerson Fabi Ramos 3/23/2026 v10.24.54
La última actualización tiene un error. Se puede abrir, pero se cierra inmediatamente.
★★★★ Volodymyr Karanevych 3/20/2026 v10.24.54
Not working after the latest update. Pixel 10 pro
★★★★ Kirill Stiazhkin 3/20/2026 v10.24.54
stupid santander key banner does not permit to use the application
★★★★ Nerea Orrego 3/7/2026 v10.24.54
Desde que actualizaron la app no puedo abrirla en mi teléfono, tuve que desinstalar y al volver a entrar se vuelve a cerrar tras 2 seg abierta.
★★★★ Manuel Perez Yllan 3/2/2026 v10.24.54
La autenticación. el proceso de renovar la password. Es impossible.
★★★★ Miryam Serrano 2/24/2026
Una estafa completa
★★★★ Paul Norkett 2/20/2026 v10.21.54
poor English language provision. Keeps reverting to Spanish.
★★★★ Andrés Hernández 2/5/2026 v10.21.54
La peor app bancaria. A menudo la identificación con biometría se desconfigura, sin motivo aparente, y mi cuenta queda bloqueada hasta que no restablezca la contraseña siguiendo el proceso de la pregunta de seguridad. Pero a veces devuelve errores durante el reset de password y acabas entrando en un bucle infinito siendo incapaz de acceder a tu capital. Extremadamente frustrante.
★★★★ Przemyslaw 2/2/2026 v10.21.54
Beware of opening an account with Santander as a foreigner. it's a nightmare and you will be charged fees which you don't expext and no one will ever explain why you are being charged. I have had this account for 3 years and it was a huge expensive mistake. Customer service is basically non-existent. I am a bank manager myself and even I can't cope with this nonsense
★★★★ Philippe Sanchez 2/1/2026 v10.9.61
Advertisements WITHIN YOUR STATEMENT?! Trying to sell me a new phone? .... I will be uninstalling and changing banks.
★★★★ . Chase 1/21/2026 v10.21.54
always having payment fails. harassing phone calls from Santander
★★★★ Andrew Birch 1/19/2026 v10.18.61
annoying when it needs upgrading for advertising and swapping things that were easy and useful now there not
★★★★ Ant M. 1/19/2026 v10.21.54
La aplicación se comporta de forma errática, especialmente cuando necesitas cambiar la contraseña. Además, intentan ocultar comisiones y cargos adicionales. Es el único banco en España que te cobra un 3 % cuando pagas en línea en una moneda distinta del euro.
★★★★ Marcos Álvarez 1/13/2026 v10.21.54
Muy lenta, poco simplificada
★★★★ María Rueda 1/7/2026 v10.21.54
He intentado cerrar la cuenta en varias ocasiones ya que cambié de banco y no la uso. Me cobraron 7 céntimos por la operación, no me notificaron de ello. La operación no llegó a completarse por lo que siguió abierta. Sin saber del déficit de 7 céntimos no lo cubrí, al no usar esta cuenta y haber intentado cerrarla. Hoy me han cobrado 20 euros por la deuda pendiente. No hay peor banco, no se preocupa por las necesidades del cliente, abusivo con quienes le dan beneficios. Ahórrense el disgusto.
★★★★ Mike Greally 12/19/2025 v10.21.54
Absolute Nightmare, at first worked fine, then password blocked, went to bank got new password, still not working tried to reset, still blocked, very annoyed now!!
★★★★ Julio Fernández Amodia 12/9/2025 v10.18.61
the last update just doesn't make any sense. I am having such a hard time finding the last movements of my card or my account. In the previous version I used to click in the card or account and all the history of movements appear there. It was very easy and obvious. Sadly this option is not there in the last update.
★★★★ Natallia Gordeeva 11/28/2025 v10.18.61
Application works very slow, I can not create my insurance claim (I tryed several times), I cannot input any data in the fields. So I gave up do to any action in this application because I have to close it at all to proceed and start from the beginning. There is no any helpdesk to resolve issues or submit application errors in the application.
★★★★ Marcos López 11/27/2025 v10.18.61
se cierra sola cuando usas confirmación pagos tarjeta. No respondais que os lo diga en otro foro. Solucionadlo
★★★★ Pablo Diaz Rozic 11/26/2025 v10.18.61
too many iphone popup ads
★★★★ Ken (Kenzzy) 11/25/2025
I want my account with you guys totally closed. Santander said they are no longer offering me their service. why leave the account open?
★★★★ Marius Olteanu 11/8/2025 v10.18.61
Can't login on the new phone. Password changed "successfully", but still not working with the new password. I did this 4 times already, now when I'm trying to change the password, the edit box for verifing the password is disabled.
★★★★ Alejandro Fernandez 10/18/2025 v10.13.79
Todo los procesos lentos y con errores
★★★★ Luis Diez 10/14/2025
No funciona en huawei
★★★★ Gonzalo Garcia Sanchez 9/26/2025 v10.13.79
Desde hace un tiempo no puedo hacer transferencias. Se queda pillada la app. Tengo que cerrar la app y abrirla 20 veces hasta que me deja.
★★★★ Oleksii Koshel 9/25/2025 v10.13.79
very poor
★★★★ Touseef Ahmad 9/25/2025 v10.13.79
Es un banco muy sucio y vergonzoso; no ofrece ningún servicio y paga todas las facturas tarde, lo que genera pérdidas. Un amigo y yo fuimos deshonrados por este banco, así que jamás lo recomendaré.
★★★★ Liudas Survila 9/20/2025 v10.13.79
integration with revolut is broken
★★★★ Radek Raczkowski 9/20/2025 v10.13.79
The account creation/opening form is not available in English.
★★★★ Salvador 9/17/2025
Lleno de anuncios, horroroso. Full of spam ads, horrible.
★★★★ Anton Rúa 9/12/2025
tatalmente inoperante, imposible sin ir a una sucursal.
★★★★ Sean Keegan 9/7/2025
It asked for my card number and card PIN
★★★★ Gerry 8/20/2025 v10.13.79
terrible.
★★★★ Fernando Carbonell 8/13/2025 v10.13.66
Santander Key funciona horrible, bloquea el teléfono y hay que volver a instalarla y a veces ni así funciona.
★★★★ Emmalyn Ferrel Schöner 7/27/2025 v10.9.61
I can't change the country code from +34 to +49 so I can't verify my phone hmmm
★★★★ ali hassan 7/7/2025 v10.9.61
worst app ever
★★★★ Tessan L 6/25/2025 v10.9.61
There is no option to chat with or email the bank if you need help, and even if you set your language to English, half the app is in Spanish.
★★★★★ Lacey Bacon 3/4/2026 v10.24.54
Way too much going on in the app and essential features like contacting online or disputing charges or anything like that is missing
★★★★★ Thijs Stockmans 12/2/2025 v10.18.61
Bank transfer doesn't work 90% of the time. Cannot see the bank account number of transactions. Not what I hoped from such an important app.
★★★★★ Galois G 10/29/2025 v10.13.79
Desde la nueva actualización detecta mal las pulsaciones de la clave de acceso al acceder. Es imprescindible que aparezca el numero de contrato de la tarjeta en los detalles de la tarjeta ya que las liquidaciones aparecen en la cuenta especificadas por este numero. Y ver la retención real de la cuenta y que no ponga 0.00.
★★★★★ ivan smirnov (LikeMilk) 10/26/2025 v10.18.61
The app works terribly. Instead of labels, translation keys are often displayed. When trying to make an early mortgage repayment, entering an invalid symbol causes the app to crash. The loan payment history still doesn’t scroll properly - you can scroll down, but not back up, and it’s been like this for months. For a bank that deals with large amounts of money and loans, this is a disgrace.
★★★★★ Luis G. Moyano 10/25/2025 v10.13.79
lenta, llena de anuncios intrusivos, con bugs al abrirla aplicación y al autorizar movimentos...
