Ridiculous poor bank

Full of excuses and lies every person contradicts the other money disappeared from account and no help Reviewed on: 11th June 2021

Excellent bank & App

I always find Halifax staff friendly and pleased to help. The App is also excellent now bringing it to match many of the challenger banks facilities, such as notifications. Reviewed on: 15th April 2021

Very poor service

Tried to close a joint account but was told it had already been closed by the other account holder. This isn't good practice really. They didn't seem to care. Reviewed on: 14th April 2021

No muss no fuss

I have been with Halifax for a number of years now, maybe 10? And I can honestly say I've never had a problem. I've lost a card while out shopping (pre Covid - when you could shop!) I've had an online rouge tried to make a fraudulent charge against my account for some "white goods" in a foreign country; and, I once had to query a cash withdrawal I spotted on my statement from an overseas bank. Given that my passport was two years out of date at the time it certainly wasn't me! All of the above incidents were delt with no fuss whatsoever; and because these incidents were years apart, I can only conclude that this is their operational norm? So, yes, I've been tempted with the cash bribes to "ditch and switch" to other providers, but I'm happy where I am; and as long as I don't go into the red and I abide by the terms and conditions, there are no nasty charges. So here I'll stay. Reviewed on: 26th March 2021

Fantastic app and products

5
I have active accounts with quite a few startups and high Street banks, but Halifax has always been the consistently best bank for me in terms of banking products (Current account and mortgage) and the best mobile app! Reviewed on: 21st March 2021
