Halifax Current Account reviews (898)

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

Halifax is so transparent!

They really have a great app, easy to use and there is always super friendly staff on the phones if you need further help. Reviewed on: 18th February 2023

Been with Halifax since I was 18 and they have always faultless wouldn’t use anyone else. Reviewed on: 16th February 2023

Great bank

Been with Halifax since I was 3 and never been tempted to change. Everything I need in one place and think the app is great. I have another account with a different bank (it’s a joint account) and it just doesn’t compare Reviewed on: 16th February 2023

Ease of use

Excellent service staff always helpful and good money transfer speed Reviewed on: 16th February 2023

Do not take mortgage

Strongly advise NOT to take mortgage from this bank. Interest rate is going up every 2 months by £20 because they want to force existing customers to take remortgage, where for £60000 borrowed you have to repay over 100000. Terrible. Reviewed on: 10th February 2023
