Halifax Current account reviews (955)

Review of the Halifax, Current account:

Great account

Great current account giving £5 reward each month plus cash back to be earnt using your debit card in certain stores. Very helpful in branch when setting up the account talking us through everything really well, can't fault them so far. Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

Easiest account switch

It was very quick and easy to switch my current account to Halifax all done online without having to go in branch. The switching bonus was a great offer too and money was in the account within the 7 days. Reviewed on: 9th November 2018

It's OK

one of the few banks that hasn't closed all of the local branches. Online access always seems to work fine. Overdraft charges are a bit on the high side. Reviewed on: 8th November 2018

Great bank, easy to use app, would recommend!

I switched from Lloyds bank to Halifax a few months ago and I'm very happy. I got a £70 award for switching and it was a simple and straight forward switch, taking about 5-7 days to complete. The Halifax mobile app is great, I don't use the online website much but mainly the app and it is brilliant. I'd definitely recommend Halifax! Reviewed on: 8th November 2018

handy

They are ok. Don't either you to have crap off them when you go to the branch Reviewed on: 8th November 2018

Good quality account service

Always been very happy with the quality of service received at the Halifax. Reviewed on: 8th November 2018

Good consistent service

I have banked with Halifax all my life (39 years) and for the most part they offer quality products and services - the only bad thing I can think of is their high overdraft charges, although I can understand it and are trying to make sure people do not stay in debt for longer than is necessary Reviewed on: 8th November 2018

Current Account with extras

I have had a great experience using the Halifax current account. A bonus is paid every month and I can see all my transactions when using the app. Reviewed on: 8th November 2018

Appalling customer service

I rang their customer service line to cancel the "ultimate" bank account benefits as I don't use them. After a few months they reinstated the charges. Despite several emails they have still not cancelled the account. Forwarding onto the ombudsman Reviewed on: 8th November 2018

Brilliant Local Service

Flexible, local branch with very helpful staff! Most transactions can be done easily and quickly online but the local branch has excellent opening hours including saturday mornings. Reviewed on: 8th November 2018

Simple no-fuss banking

I love using the banking app. It's so easy to transfer money and transactions show up instantly. Reviewed on: 8th November 2018
