Review of the Halifax, Current account:

Almost no local branches remain and the staff are clueless but the reward's kind of OK

Thanks, the Halifax, for shutting down all my easily-accessible local branches. I've had to open a new bank account with a different company, specifically so I can cash the odd cheque and then I have to do an online transfer of whatever amount the cheque was for into my Halifax current account, but that's horses for courses. In my experience your in-branch bank staff are total numties, however. Left hand / right hand - neither knowing what the other one's doing. Banking rules - rates for kid accounts - they know next to nothing about anything. You'd think they'd pick up some of the relevant info about your bank accounts just by the chance of them coming in to work at the Halifax every day - but as far as I can tell that's never happened so far. Really! Not ever. Time and again they've given me information that's inaccurate, if not actively outright contradicted by the next person I go in to speak with to sort out the mess the first person who 'advised' me created. Room for improvement? Yes, I'll say! The Halifax however, doesn't actively charge me for having a bank account which some of the others do and as I can't be bothered changing, and sometimes they even 'reward' me with a fiver for having a bank account with them, overall, I can't really complain.

Closure of my Accounts

I lost an account that have opened for almost a decade because of a review they refused to share with me till date. I tried to get help from different organisations like financial ombudsman and no reasonable response. Reviewed on: 14th June 2025

Appalling - vote with your money and leave

With Halifax over 30 years. First 20 were were very good - mortgage, current account, credit cards, etc. Last 10 years appalling customer service. They have down spec'd the customer service.. they stop every 2 out of 5 payments so you have to spend 20 minutes every 2 weekson phone to them proving who you are to access your own money; then they do it again! and again! Avoid like the plague as the customer comes last with Halifax. Reviewed on: 24th May 2025
