Review of the Halifax, Clarity credit card:

NEW SECURITY PROCEDURES A NIGHTMARE!

1
Hi, I've been booking a holiday this week and had nothing but trouble with my Halifax Clarity Card being declined. I've been booking flights, car hire, travel insurance etc. I had to ring Halifax customer services twice because payments weren't going through online. I was told they were having technical issues. Their security authorisation is ill-conceived and slow. If your card is declined for a large purchase, they send a text 5 minutes afterward asking if it was you making the purchase. After responding 'yes', it takes another 5 mins to receive a text saying try again in another 10 mins! Nightmare, cannot recommend this card at all. Reviewed on: 26th August 2022
