    I did not want a sample of my voice on their system he told me I had no choice , is that true can they force us to use it ?
    Maybe get yourself a tinfoil hat? I hear they are very good in situations like this.

    I registered for Voice ID yesterday. It was not compulsory. Our conversations are recorded when we talk to a bank anyway. I do not see a problem. Of course I want the bank to be able to identify me reliably.

    Try logging in on online banking, to see if it’s just an account issue. Then, try deleting the app and reinstalling. If it still won’t work, just contact Santander internet banking support.
    That's exactly what I did do..... I could log in once and then had the same old problem. Any fix was only temporary

    What phones are you using ?

    Are they up to date with the latest OS ?

    Are they old ? 

    I'm using Apple iPhone 12 mini and never once had a problem

    Did their online banking help desk provide any more advice?

    Nope, they denied they had a problem,,  and said that nobody else had complained and then wished me a nice day.

    Not had any problems on my couple of years old Android 11 Motorola.  Any glitch is simply close app and try again.  Am running both the old and Pilot beta app, you keep both.  Don't like the new one, the screen keeps refreshing and several clicks required to do simple tasks when one would suffice, absolutely awful programming.
  • If I can`t log on I have to switch my phone off and on again which isn`t satisfactory. Santander are giving users a chance to trial a new version of their App. Has anyone tried this yet? I wonder if it will solve my problem?
