Review of the Halifax, Current Account:

Best banking app

The best banking app Ive ever used. Intuitive and everything you need in one place including card information, help chat and accounts from other banks Reviewed on: 31st May 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

The worst bank EVER!

Halifax have to be the WORST bank EVER! I've been banking with them since 2007 and have always used my bank account to pay bills etc... Earlier on this year somebody committed fraud using my name with Barclays Bank. I only found out because there was a CIFAS marker on my record. Halifax shut down my bank accounts and treated me like I was a criminal everytime I rang them to try and get access to my money. Barclays bank who I've never even banked with sorted out the CIFAS marker and did a thorough investigation and found that my name was used to commit fraud without my knowledge. Barclays even paid me compensation. Halifax caused me sleepless nights, a lot of stress and treated me like absolute rubbish! I would NEVER recommend that anybody bank with them! I've tried to complain, but they just ignore me. Halifax bank are absolutely disgusting! DON'T bank with them! Reviewed on: 18th September 2022
