Review of the Halifax, Current account:

Pleasant staff and straightforward to open an account

Having only recently opened an account with Halifax, I have to say the process was easy and pain-free. I was offered the chance to attend a meeting at a time of my choosing, where a quick credit check was run and my personal identity documents checked. All staff were very pleasant an eager to help. My new account was available to me immediately with online access from the get-go. My card arrived within a few days by post. The online banking website is not the prettiest or the easiest to navigate (although this may be to my lack of familiarity with it). I like that you can change the name of your bank account online to something more personal in order to help distinguish it from other account. Overall, I have had nothing but great customer service from this bank, where the staff always appear to have a friendly and happy manner. Reviewed on: 18th August 2015

Appalling - vote with your money and leave

With Halifax over 30 years. First 20 were were very good - mortgage, current account, credit cards, etc. Last 10 years appalling customer service. They have down spec'd the customer service.. they stop every 2 out of 5 payments so you have to spend 20 minutes every 2 weekson phone to them proving who you are to access your own money; then they do it again! and again! Avoid like the plague as the customer comes last with Halifax. Reviewed on: 24th May 2025

For a larger banks, I was skeptical

For a larger banks, I was skeptical about a switch to a Halifax current account but I've been impressed. Everything just works! When I've needed customer services they've been there the range of current account offerings is decent. Reviewed on: 15th April 2025
