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

Perfect card for travel

I only use my clarity card for travel, as there are no fees and it has a competitive exchange rate, its safer than carrying cash Reviewed on: 20th February 2023

Great credit card

I don’t use credit very often, just a small amount now and again to keep the card active. Easy to use Reviewed on: 16th February 2023

Great card for overseas

This sia great card for overseas spending with no fees. Reviewed on: 9th February 2023

Excellent card!

Excellent card that I always use for its fee free spending abroad, would definitely recommend! Reviewed on: 1st February 2023

Best exchange rate

I've had this card for atleast 10 years,I always pay it off in full so the charges are of no consequence to me but I go abroad often and its the best exchange rate, better than using cash and so convenient as most places accept Mastercard Reviewed on: 1st February 2023

Clarity excellence

This card is excellent. It can be used abroad with no charges. I have lost my card on a few occasions and I can freeze the card online which gives me peace of mind. I also find the new issue of cards to be prompt. Overall great customer service and reliability. Reviewed on: 1st February 2023

Nightmare!

Just booked flights, villa, car hire and travel insurance and what a nightmare it was using my Halifax Clarity Card! Their security procedures are pants! In one day booking the above, my card was rejected 9 times. I had to ring customer services twice spending 20 minutes on the phone each time. I pay my credit card in full every month, so no problem on the credit front. Incredibly they've recently removed the ability to let them know you are travelling abroad. When you're increasing your security measures, why on earth would you remove this layer of extra security?? I want to let them know which country I'm travelling to so they don't block my purchases. I'm now looking for another credit card, this experience was too stressful and just not worth it. I'll be moving to a credit card with robust security procedures THAT DOESN'T BLOCK MY LEGITIMATE PURCHASES! Reviewed on: 3rd September 2022
