Won't let me switch!!!

2
Trying to switch a joint Santander 123 to Halifax (to get £100 bonus), but keep rejecting my request as they claim new account is not joint (even though Halifax website says it is). tried ringing helpline - no answer, no branch near me. Very disappointing. Reviewed on: 24th December 2016

Great service

I have to say that I have had a great experience with Halifax, their customer service team are easy to contact and answer all your queries timely. I joined halifax when they did the switch offer where you got £100 for switching banks. I'm glad I did! Reviewed on: 24th December 2016

Always helpful

No matter what my query, problem or need I have always found Halifax in branch and on the telephone to be super helpful and efficient! Reviewed on: 19th December 2016

Loyalty Is Not Rewarded

2
I always thought loyalty should be rewarded but with the Halifax, it doesn't appear so. I've been a customer for over 20 years but never once receive bonus interest rates etc. Instead they continually send letters stating interest rates on certain accounts are falling. I wouldn't recommend Halifax for much. Reviewed on: 18th December 2016

excellent customer service

5
always helpful and go the extra mile Reviewed on: 18th December 2016

Decent free accounting

4
Decent free account, with attentive staff at my local branch who ensure my accounts and products are up to date. Interest rate on credit balance is not brilliant, but I do not pay a fee for my banking. Reviewed on: 1st December 2016

Easy to use on-line banking

5
I like my Halifax Current Account as I use on-line banking and I find their website very user-friendly. I can do all of the banking that I need fast and efficiently. Reviewed on: 30th November 2016
