Super service

Friendly and helpful staff who will take time and trouble to sort out problems Reviewed on: 20th January 2022

Customer service

Even though our local bank got rid of the face to face tills, there is always a friendly face there to advise you or help you out if needed Reviewed on: 20th January 2022

Poor interest rates

Customer service has been reasonable but the company offers no incentives to save with them unlike others. Customer service staff aren't in a position to justify those decisions Reviewed on: 19th January 2022

Happy, Friendly bank

I have been banking with Halifax since I was 8 years old. I have found the customer service to be helpful and the online banking to be easy and simple. Whenever I have needed face-to-face assistance, I have gone into branch and found the staff to be well trained and friendly. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Good bank

Never had a problem with Halifax in 20+ years Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

lost my cheque in branch!

not professional, how can they LOSE a cheque? deposited through the hole in the wall and left on the side in their office for over a week until i complained about being overdrawn for unknown reason. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Good for purposes.

Systems operate well and generally I do not have any problems. However they should reward people for leaving money in a basic current account without having to pay a monthly fee. They have the use of my money to fund borrowers and contribute to their costs so a fee free service should apply like it used to be in the past. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Great bank

Great bank Superb customer service Reviewed on: 15th January 2022

Great account
