Review of the Halifax, Current Account:

A decent basic service

The basic current account is fine for most needs. There is a tiny £2 per month reward, having reduced from £5 originally. The main reason I stay with them is the staff in my local branch. They are helpful, friendly and courteous. Reviewed on: 8th February 2020

Good app

App is better than all the other banks so this is why I’d recommend this current account Reviewed on: 8th April 2023

Very behind

Comparing with other banks, they are not very ahead with their features. Cumbersome app and not so sleek, budgeting features aren't so good. Been a customer for a while Reviewed on: 6th April 2023

Good but app and processes could be clearer

Overall good but i feel Halifax should’ve been clearer with the specific terms and conditions for the reward current account. Part of the conditions to gain reward is spending a certain amount of money using the account but it was not made clear that DD’s and standing orders do not count and what counts is using the card is shops. I’m sure it’s in the small print somewhere however, i was unable to find the info when i looked and it’s only now that i have opened the account i realise DD’s/standing order don’t count. This should be more clear when you apply for the account and shouldn’t have to be in small print (if it is) Reviewed on: 4th April 2023
