Review of the Halifax, Clarity Credit Card:

Brilliant. Essential for travel

4
This credit card was a lifesaver while I spent five weeks travelling in south america. Not wanting to take all the money needed for such a long trip in one lump sum I was worried about credit card charges too. This card offers free cash withdrawals from anywhere so I was able to withdraw sometimes daily and only carry around a minimum amount of cash. Reviewed on: 3rd November 2017

Avoid Halifax!!

1
I have been a loyal customer of Halifax for many years, but my recent experience has left me deeply disappointed and frustrated. If you are unfortunate enough to encounter contactless fraud, do not expect them to help you, even if you have strong, objective evidence that it wasn't you. Their lack of proper investigation, poor customer service, and refusal to acknowledge the possibility of fraud is embarrassing for a bank. I urge anyone considering Halifax to think twice and avoid them at all costs. They sent my new credit card to my old address, sent letters to outdated email addresses which they shouldn't even store due to GDPR, and repeatedly addressed me by the wrong name.

Using Halifax Clarity credit card aboard. No issues at all and easy to withdraw funds with no interest charges attached. Customer service is very good and efficient too, when I had to call them about a transaction. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2024

The Halifax Credit card is easy to apply for, quick to arrive and easy to use. It's also easy to pay it off using the personal banking app. It also works out cheaper when abroad and you pay in the local currency. Reviewed on: 24th May 2024

I've had this card for a decade, it has the best exchange rate and I also use it fir everyday spending paying it off in full every month Reviewed on: 24th May 2024

Worst card I have ever had.

Worst card I have ever had. Only signed up so I could use abroad and not incur currency fees. First card only worked 50% of the time using contactless, tried to change pin both online and in branch and was told it’s temperamental .got. Second card and it was just as bad, didn’t work half the time so cannot risk using abroad so going back to Barclaycsrd Freedom which now offers same service and it 100% reliable Reviewed on: 21st April 2024
