Review of the Halifax, Clarity Credit Card:

Excellent service

clarity

never ever a problem works every time Reviewed on: 28th April 2020

Great credit card for travelling

The Clarity Credit card has been incredibly useful while going overseas. It converts one currency into GBP so I'm not charged any fees, which has made my life a lot easier while travelling. Reviewed on: 27th April 2020

Great service and value

Using Clarity CC abroad resulted in no extra charges and excellent Exchange Rates Reviewed on: 28th January 2020

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

Too unreliable

Several years ago we got this for use abroad and it has been more trouble than it’s worth. Even if we pre advise of a trip (which they say we don’t need to do) any payment is invariably blocked. Twice they’ve assumed fraud and cancelled the card (and will only send a replacement to your home address within a week) so we couldn’t use it again for the rest of the trip. We end up using our UK card which costs far more than using a card that is less competitive than Clarity but does actually work when abroad. So now we just take lots of cash (at online rates) and whatever is left is then a bonus when we go away next time! Reviewed on: 12th January 2020

Great for overseas spending

No charges or fees for overseas so I have this specifically for using abroad. Interest rates aren't great but a good tool to have for holidays. Reviewed on: 29th December 2019

Great card

Use this all the time but only when abroad. Great rate of exchange given. Reviewed on: 24th December 2019
