Halifax Clarity Credit Card reviews (259)

Review of the Halifax, Clarity Credit Card:

Falls from grace

This was a great credit card for spending money abroad - affordable and simple to use. However they have recently changed the rules so that paying the money back early - for example to reduce the interest charged on cash withdrawals - does not reduce the direct debit charge for the next month. After several instances where my credit card was significantly in the positive I have been left with no choice but to cancel the direct debit and so am now avoiding using it where possible Reviewed on: 25th January 2020

Loyal cutomer refused Clarity card

Despite having banked with Halifax for over ten years, never having had an overdraft and always in credit by four figures I was refused a clarity card for my forthcoming four week trip. Could not do it on line, branch could not do it and I was obliged to call at the branch several times and still refused and advised I had to do it via telephone banking going through all the questions again. Appalling behaviour by Halifax, but good news for me. I have moved to Starling and TransferWise and could not be happier with my choice of banks Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

My Travel Bestie

Halifax Clarity gives me peace of mind when travelling abroad -it’s widely accepted; gives near perfect rates with no fees and even cash withdrawals are charged at a reasonable %. Customer service is easy to navigate and statements are clear and easy. Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

Good card

Love the fact I can use it for free abroad Reviewed on: 11th January 2019

Long winded but great perks

I've been living overseas for a while now, and although sometimes the Halifax app is a little behind times and hard to navigate, the perks of this card have been outstanding. You don't get charged any fees for using your card abroad which has saved me so much money. They don't offer any other perks with the card barring the occasional period of super low interest, but the savings alone with using the card overseas trump any offers I've had with loyalty cards prior. Reviewed on: 4th January 2019

Best customer service

I have been with a number of Banks and Halifax has been the best for everything I have needed. The customer service team over the phone was able to set up my online banking straight away, and helped when I was going abroad that the card wouldn't be frozen like it so commonly is with other banks.
