Review of the Halifax, Current Account:

Very good service

5
British call centres that answer promptly and handle problems effectively. Reviewed on: 5th April 2018

A decent bank. Telephone service is poor.

4
I do telephone banking. It’s one cockup after another with Halifax Bank. I have to attend at the branch often to sort out problems, I don’t do online banking. I think their actions are a deliberate ploy to force me to change to IB. Reviewed on: 5th July 2023

Thoughtfulness

Always offer assistance in time of crissis Reviewed on: 19th June 2023

Generally ok but staff & complaints are rubbish

3
Staff on their messaging service keep closing chats immediately (despite taking hours to reply), don't answer the question and then my complaint still hasn't been dealt with - it was a relatively simple matter so I'm not sure why 1: the initial 3 staff members couldn't resolve it or 2: complaints couldn't sort it out already. Phone service is not good, long hold times so gave up on trying to use that. Reviewed on: 17th June 2023
