Review of the Halifax, Clarity Credit Card:

Very good credit card

Good interest rate and excellent customer service. Reviewed on: 16th November 2017

Useless for travel, security procedures in the dark ages

Have previously had a barclaycard travel credit card, mondo and still have a chase debit card for using abroad. Been using clarity credit card for the last 18 months and nothing but issues. Blocked multiple times while abroad. No option to authorise transactions through app, they insist on using text message which is archaic, and more importantly not feasible when using local SIM cards in different countries. Have had to rely on may chase card, cash or colleagues. Getting through to a helpline requires 20-30 mins of waiting. Some reps don't appear to be able to access previous notes about your card. For simple things like setting up Apple Pay, you need to call them! and not dialling from a phone, but through the app. And even when done through the app, if I doesn't register as through an app, and therefore higher authorisation, they can't verify your card for Apple Pay. I've also had a rep send me a replacement card, due to a flag for possible compromise, with the same credit card number - idiotic. Honestly cannot recommend them Reviewed on: 15th August 2023

Easy to use

Card is great but if you need a replacement it takes a long time Reviewed on: 15th June 2023

Highly recommended!!

The Halifax Clavity Credit Card is a versatile card with a competitive APR and rewards program. It offers a sign-up bonus, low annual fee, and flexible credit limit. The card has reliable customer service and robust security measures. Overall, it's a solid choice for those looking for a rewards-based credit card with good features. Reviewed on: 11th June 2023
