Awful judgemental staff

If you want rude customer service and branch workers that roll their eyes and calls you a liar then this Is the bank for you. Charge very large fees for a little error. AVOID at all costs, much better banks than Halifax Reviewed on: 11th April 2018

In Branch idiocy

Went to my local branch to pay in a cheque, using my debit card for account details. The staff member addressed me as 'SIr', then asked if it was my wife's account. I told him it was my account. 'Oh, its a joint account then sir?' 'NO, it's my account' I had to show my work ID to prove I was a lady. I have waist length hair. He was not being alert. Very annoying to put it mildly Reviewed on: 4th April 2018

Halifax Current Account

There was a great incentive to switch to Halifax when I did, which was paid into my bank account very quickly. The account gave me a good bonus as well as cash back scheme and I found the app very intuitive with a much nicer interface than other banking apps. Customer service was also really good. Reviewed on: 11th February 2018
