Review of the Halifax, Current Account:

Life-long Halifax customer worried about future banking

I have been a life-long Halifax account holder, I hold a few accounts with them including savers and current accounts. They are easy to manage online if you are a little tech savvy, nothing too complicated however where they fail to deliver in my eyes is 1) Interest rates 2) Catering for the older generation 3) Lack of physical banks. While I am generally satisfied with their services for my own personal needs there are improvements needed for sure. Their interest rates are measly and almost non existent, going down year on year, you should be rewarding your customers for choosing your services not insulting them. Next while online and digital banking is convenient, it's not a one size fits all kind of deal and will undoubtedly leave the older generations and less savvy behind who may face great life struggles without easy access to their cash. This brings me onto my next point lack of physical banks, this is a by-product of banks going digital and closing down branches in favour of the ever pushy agenda of going completely digital (and eventually cashless it would seem). I will note that it's not just Halifax doing this but the majority of banks are doing the same, this is something that really concerns me and will most certainly do more harm than good so lets not try to fix a system that isn't broken, it works for everybody the way it is, a mix of cash and digital. Furthermore becoming reliant on digital technologies for our daily lives could be disastrous if such systems fail, face security breaches or hacks, power outages etc. Overall despite this review having a generally negative overtone, I will emphasize that as a customer of Halifax, I have never had any issues with them or needed to contact them or complain about anything but there are things that I am not happy with and concerned about as mentioned.
