Review of the Halifax, Current account:

Avoid!!!!

I have been with Halifax for over 9 years, on the 24 and 25th of December lots of money was fraudulently withdrawn from my account when I was enjoying my time with my family on Christmas day. Called them immediately and they REFUSED TO REFUND ME WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING INTO MY ACCOUNT. BUNCH OF USELESS INCOMPETENT STAFF WHO COULDNT EVEN ANSWER MY QUESTIONS. APPLIED TO COMPLAINTS DEPARTMENT, ACTION FRAUD AND FINANCIAL OMBUDSMAN TO RECOVER MY HARD EARNED MONEY. MICHAEL DIAMOND A SO CALLED "MANAGER" AN ABSOLUTE JOKE, I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE HELPFUL TO SPEAK TO VIRTUAL ASSISTANT THAN HIM, AS ALL HE KEPT SAYING "I AM SATISFIED WITH THE DECISION MADE". WHEN I ASKED HIM ON WHAT GROUNDS HE REFUSED TO REPLY. DANIELLE IS ANOTHER USELESS FRAUD DEPARTMENT OFFICER, WHO ASKED ME 2 QUESTIONS: 1.HAVE YOU GOT YOUR CARD WITH YOU? YES 2.DOES ANYONE KNOW YOUR PIN- NO. BASED ON THAT SHE MADE A DECISION NOT TO REFUND MY MONEY!!!!!! NEVER WITHIN 9 YEARS WITH HALIFAX I WITHDRAWN THAT MUCH CASH, SO BANK SHOULD HAVE BLOCKED IT on GROUNDS OF SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY. ALSO IT HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN FROM THE ATM FROM DIFFERENT BOROUGHS OF UK, VERY FAR FROM WHERE I LIVE. CLEARLY THEY HAVE POOR SECURITY PERFORMANCE. I SPENT 4 HOURS ON THE PHONE TO HALIFAX TO GET ZERO RESULT. STAY AWAY FROM HALIFAX AND ANY OF THE BANKS UNDER THE LLOIDS BANKING GROUP, THEY HAD 21,304 OMBUDSMAN COMPLAINTS IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS!! I WILL RECOVER MY MONEY, AND YOU WILL COMPENSATE ME FOR THE DESTRESS YOU CAUSED ME AND I WILL BE CLOSING MY ACCOUNT WITH HALIFAX. THANKS FOR RUINING MY XMAS. Reviewed on: 30th January 2021

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
