Excellent in every way

I was recently scammed on line and the scammers attemlted to take a large sum of money from my current account. Halifax security immediately blocked the transaction and contacted me. The only damage done was having to be issued with a new bank card. I can't thank the Halifax enough nor the kind emplyee who contacted me from their fraud department. A big 5* Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

A decent bank. Telephone service is poor.

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

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
