Review of the Halifax, Current account:

Super banking

I moved to Halifax simply for the £100 switch offer but since I have been impressed with the banking, it is easy to access and easy to talk to someone if you need to. They were really helpful when a company stole money from me and wouldn't return it, they were accessible, polite and considerate. I also have a savings account, credit card and had car insurance with them, they are a company I trust. The only thing negative is the interest rates, but that is what is negative about all banking with any banks! Reviewed on: 12th February 2016

I have been a Halifax user since opening my first account. I now have an ISA, credit card & savings accounts for my children with them as they have always offered great service & great rates. Recently they have updated their app for easier use & have instant notifications for spending etc. I have upgraded my current account to receive rewards & also get cash back offers so overall am happy with the service I receive & will be a lifelong Halifax member.

Good online service either via app or desktop.

Good online service either via app or desktop. Rapid response from customer services if required. Kept abreast of changes and new offers tailored to personal requirements. Wide range of products and often competitive when compared against alternatives Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025

Very rude aggressive customer service

Spoke to customer service this morning regarding suspicious activity on my account, very rude and unprofessional and uninterested, I didn’t get the help I needed because she actually put the phone down on me. I was so upset and stressed out I couldn’t sleep after doing a night shift, I was so annoyed at the rude attitude and the way I was spoken to. I am closing my account today and going elsewhere. I don’t expect to be treated this way. She was so aggressive in her tone and manner. What sort of behaviour is that!! Reviewed on: 30th March 2025
