Halifax Current Account reviews (897)

easy and straightforward

I have been with halifax since I was a student and they consistently give me the most straightforward and helpful experience. Their customer service with issues such as address change and overdraft limit arranged is brilliant. Reviewed on: 16th April 2019

Really helpful and excellent service

I have only just signed up with Halifax but they were very helpful. Excellent communication and services Reviewed on: 16th April 2019

Easy To Use

The online banking app makes it easy to keep up to date with your finances. You can also pay cheques up to £500 online now which saves a trip in to town. If you do need to go in to the branch the staff are always helpful and efficient. Reviewed on: 16th April 2019

great service

U.K. call centres that answer the phone quickly. Reviewed on: 16th April 2019

Good current account

Halifax have served us well as a bank. The internet banking is very occasionally down for maintenance, but generally very good. My main complaint is that the monthly bonus has dropped from £5 to £2 which isn't very good. Reviewed on: 15th April 2019

They offer £135 to switch for a reason - DON'T DO IT

I have been a customer with Halifax since 2011 and have had ongoing problems with them. Over the years my debit card gets unexpectedly blocked by Halifax when they decide there has been a few too many transactions (online shopping etc.) I have complained several times about how they will just block a card and do nothing to resolve it. Recently I have decided to switch because I had my purse stolen in town, with both my Halifax credit and debit cards in. I received the credit card (not working, contactless not authorised) and from 15th Feb as of today 26th Feb I have yet to receive my debit card. No response from Halifax, have had to rely on cash from family for the past 2 weeks and have embarrassingly had to hand things back at checkout when cash couldn't cover it. I am completely dependent on Halifax and they leave me without any cards for nearly 2 weeks. Opening a case with Financial Ombudsman out of principle. Can't wait to switch to RBS Reviewed on: 26th February 2019

Keep you in the loop

Halifax are very good at keeping you up to date with balance updates and reminders of direct debts coming soon so it is super easy to budget. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019
