Halifax Hands Up

Halifax is great with most things, but customer service in branch isn't their forte. They are unhelpful and brusque, compared to telephone banking where they cannot do enough to help. In branch its too much hassle to do even the littlest thing!!!!! Reviewed on: 29th December 2016

Very reliable and value for money

Trustworthy, reliable and value for money Reviewed on: 28th December 2016

A Very Good Bank

I have never had any issues with my Bank (Halifax) I think If I ever thought of leaving for another Bank they would have to offer me some fantastic incentives.Tgst really sums up my review. A truly great bank why would I want to leave. Reviewed on: 28th December 2016

Easy to manage, understand and use.

Simple to use, online banking is excellent. Secure buying is comforting. Branches easily accessible. Staff helpful. Reviewed on: 27th December 2016

Won't let me switch!!!

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

Ultimate Satisfaction

Excellent Travel Insurance had purse stolen panic not sure what to do here to go. Superb customer service, stopped and replaced all the cards , made travel money available, where to report the crime and without hassle replaced all that was with the minimum fuss even the purse Reviewed on: 24th December 2016

Amazing service, can't fault them.

Amazing service, can't fault them. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 20th 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

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
