Review of the Halifax, Clarity credit card:

GREAT FOR TRAVEL

5
CHEAPEST TRAVEL MONEY CARD AROUND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Reviewed on: 31st August 2019

Difficult Start but Great Credit Card

This credit card took me a while to receive as they lost my application details twice. Eventually I received the Credit Card and I use it for all my holidays abroad and it's perfect. Reviewed on: 31st May 2017

There when needed!

5
Applied for this card especially for travelling abroad, due to automatic anti fraud protection the card was blocked multiple times and due to time difference and lack of access to phone on one particular occasion, only access to internet contacted Halifax via twitter to which they replied within minutes and called the hotel I was staying and unblocked the card (very relived), on top of this the card interest rate was fantastic actually happy to pay interest for the great service provided, I believe not many people would say that.

Fair interest rates and zero forex fees

5
Love the Clarity credit card. The interest rate, although higher than you would find for a loan, is much more competitive than other credit cards I have. What I really love though is zero fees on purchases in foreign currencies - this is the standout feature as far as I am concerned. Reviewed on: 30th May 2017

Great for overseas spending.

5
Has a very good APR this credit card, but it's best used as a way of getting money overseas. No fees for taking money out of an ATM and no fees for using in a shop, and the exchange rate is set by MasterCard, which is a better rate than you're get anywhere. What's not to love, just remember to pay it off. Reviewed on: 30th May 2017

The only Credit Card you need to pack for purchases when going abroad.

5
I have used this credit card several times in different countries to purchase goods and have always got a good exchange rate and there are no extra fees/charges. Reviewed on: 27th May 2017

Really Useful Card

5
Having recently retired and, enjoying my retirement, by booking last minute breaks abroad. I can go away knowing that I won't be penalised when using it whilst on holiday, and as it's a master card the exchange rate they get when converting my purchase is very reasonable. Reviewed on: 14th May 2017

Perfect exchange rates all over the world

5
Amazing product. The amount of charges I would have paid had I used my debit card is eye-watering. Saved me a lot of money and great customer service. Reviewed on: 11th May 2017

Awesome for travelling

5
best rates for spending abroad - good app also! Reviewed on: 6th May 2017

Excellent for travelling

5

Great credit card for overseas spending

Offers a great currency rate when spending overseas and worth having if you pay the balance off in full each month Reviewed on: 30th April 2017
