Review of the Halifax, Current Account:

Been happily with Halifax for donkey's years

Signed up as a postgrad about 25 years ago and have used numerous accounts and products with them ever since. Pity both my local branches had to close, though. Reviewed on: 17th December 2019

Brilliant bank

Been with Halifax for almost all my life and they have been a responsible bank throughout thick and thin. Reviewed on: 13th January 2023

Good Customer Service

My local branch has fabulous, helpful staff. Reviewed on: 10th January 2023

Awful. Finally leaving

I had many accounts with Halifax for about 15 years, punch after punch they wore me into switching. None existent customer service, no perks, daft security features that leave you high and dry when you desperately need to use your card. Couldn't get a mortgage with them even on a terrible rate so went elsewhere, seen almost zero interest in all my years there due to terrible rates. Now I get far better service on a far better rate elsewhere. Reviewed on: 6th January 2023

Poor services, stressful account management, yelled at by staff on the phone

Have been trying to claim this money back for 2 months. Every 2 weeks I send another message and have money taken from my account, and then it's put back because I ask them to look at the evidence. It's mentally draining, stressful and extra effort. On top of that the interest rates are below 1%, applying for credit cards is basically impossible and calling to ask questions is met with burned out staff. Reviewed on: 18th December 2022

Worst Bank

Worst Customer Service do not join this Bank! I will be changing my Bank. They do not support the customer when fraudulent transaction happen. Reviewed on: 2nd December 2022
