Halifax Current account reviews (939)

Appalling

I have never dealt with such an appalling financial company. The staff are growing increasingly rude, inconsiderate and inefficient. Threatening, intimidating and lying on the phone. Complaints ignored for months & months on end. No responsibility or accountability. Currently closing 3 current accounts, 3 savings accounts, 1 ISA and 1 credit card due to the disgusting way in which the staff behave and management ignore. Reviewed on: 20th March 2021

Customer Centred Banking

I always feel Halifax are there to help with anything. Excellent customer service. Reviewed on: 18th March 2021

Excellent current account

I love my current account. Excellent online banking options ability to create accounts sitting in for mini savings accounts. Fab. Reviewed on: 18th March 2021

Exemplary of what a bank should be

In my 8 - 10 years of banking with HALIFAX, I can count the number of times I had have to go into the bank to discuss any problems because I have never had one. Also, when I did have a query and needed to go into my branch, the staff knew exactly what was required to find a solution. My money was easily accessible and I was never made to feel that I couldn't get at it. They offered alot of services to customers and businesses. I couldn't say enough about them if I wanted to. You also get instantaneous alerts whenever there is an activity on your account. They did it first :) Reviewed on: 13th March 2021

Everything you want

The Halifax current account has everything you expect of a modern account. Cheque deposit by photo. Useful budgeting features. As someone who has used the current account switch service many times, Halifax is always the best experience. Reviewed on: 2nd March 2021

They opened my account in the wrong name

I recently opened an account with halifax and when I received the cards the letter was addressed to Mrs khan but when I opened it it said Dear Mr Khan and my card had Mr Khan on it when I called I was told the account was in Mr when I clearly opened it in Mrs and I was told to go to the branch to change it although it was their fault I called earlier today and was told to call back between 7-11 am to speak to the relevant team who would sort it instead I spoke to a very bad customer service lady who didn't even care and when I told her I wanted to close the account she just said wait while I put you on hold and just closed it she didn't even try to talk me out of it like the other lady did it was like she didn't care about the bank or their customers update: I waited ages for halifax to respond to my complaint and after many calls I received a letter saying they had looked at my complaint and gave me £30 compensation which I think is an insult considering the inconveniences they have caused me and I definitely won't be banking with them ever again Reviewed on: 2nd March 2021

Incompetent

I tried making an online transfer of monies from my Halifax account. However, I was requested to call the fraud line. I’ve was on hold for 3 hours and gave up. I tried again and gave up after another 3 hours. I spent 6 hours on the phone since it was an urgent transaction. I will now transfer my money elsewhere and similarly with all my businesses. Incompetence doesn’t fully describe such a service. Reviewed on: 26th February 2021
