Great current account provider

I'm rewarded every month with £3 credited to my account simply for banking with them and I receive cashback on my purchases. The staff are friendly and the branch is open Saturday mornings. I would recommend Halifax as a current account provider. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2017

Bad experience

Opened an account and told them I didn't want an overdraft, they put one on anyway without me knowing. Thinking my bank would stop me when I reached 0, I spent over the overdraft amount ended up with £400 bank charges. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2017

does what it says on the box :-)

Straightforward switching service and very good app. Makes all the accounts visible and simple to understand. Only disappointment is that they have just lowered the reward on the the reward account :-( Reviewed on: 3rd April 2017
