Review of the Halifax, Cash ISA:

Low rates, but easy to use

3
Not the best on the market by any means, but it is easy to use since I can access from my other bank accounts. Have had a few customer service issues with Halifax in the past, but overall they're ok. Reviewed on: 29th June 2016

Never had a problem

I always recommend Haalifax, they have a great deal for switching and do all the work for you with their switching team. Customer service are always very happy to help Reviewed on: 12th August 2016

Ignorance finds its reward

I knew next to nothing about saving money with an institution and was both nervous and a little anxious about committing to such a step. Fortunately, Halifax led me through all the options and the ramifications and implications of choosing each one. Ultimately, they provided me with the product that was just right for me and I am very grateful to them. Reviewed on: 30th June 2016

informative, concise, genuine and friendly service

4
Me and my partner wanted to start saving our money to help us get a mortage and wanted to do so in the most effective way possible. We chose Halifax to do this with but didn't really know where to go from there. From having a meeting with an advisor, we were talked through all the options and really felt that the informative we were getting was honest and took into account our best interests rather than just being a sales pitch which you do sometimes feel you are getting at banks. We felt assured that Halifax were approachable and that we were confident in saving with them and choosing the saver ISA. Reviewed on: 22nd June 2016

Great customer service!

I had a fantastic customer service in our local Halifax! Never had any problems with them. Everything is clear and straight forward. Reviewed on: 21st April 2016

Cash ISA

4
I took out a Cash ISA account with Halifax several years ago (I already had my current account with them). The account is really easy to use - I just transfer money using online banking from my current account to my ISA with a few clicks. Money can be returned to my current account in the same way with unlimited withdrawals and no penalties. I tend to use the account for short to medium term savings to keep the money separate from my current account, its not the best rate of interest but if you want a savings account that is tax free, easy to use with unlimited free withdrawals then I would highly recommend this product. Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

good

might not have given a good review if I had to follow the normal procedure which is to book an appointment to open an account. However luckily I could be seen immediately so everything was done quickly Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

Halifax offers good quality service and has some good offers on isa accounts and currant accounts Reviewed on: 18th February 2016

Need to do more for savers

Halifax could provide a better interest rate for us savers. My isa has dropped by 1% in the last 3 months so I decided not to reinvest it. Reviewed on: 16th February 2016
