Review of the Halifax, Cash ISA:

Breath of fresh air

Last year I opened a 2 year fixed isa saver with Halifax and transferred in existing products from another provider. I began the process online (as an existing customer with a current account) however came up against a query quite quickly with the transfer details required therefore called up. I was quickly put through to the relevant department who took resolved my query which meant I could have continued online however as they were so quick I chose to work through the process with them over the phone. They took all the details including the maturation date of my existing product and before I knew it we were done, they also advised the closure date of my chosen product due to a change in isa limits/rules which meant another product maturing later could also be consolidated which was an added bonus, they even offered to take those details then ready to action which I felt was very proactive and helpful and they clearly knew their products and all relevant associated rules which put me at ease. The documents arrived within days confirming the product and transfer and I received regular updates confirming the transfer had been put in place with my existing provider and then once the funds were received. I literally had to do nothing more, they even added it to my online banking. I had not expected to receive any notification of interest on the product until it matured so I was pleasantly surprised when my balance increased after the end of the first financial year to show interest obtained. It was all so simple and the staff inspired confidence therefore I will definitely consider Halifax in the future for my banking needs. (I only gave 4 stars as there is always some room for improvement) Reviewed on: 10th August 2015

I had ISA with halifax for many years. I transferred it to other bank to new fixed ISA. But I transferred partial amount only. Rest of the amount they presumably sending me by cheque...still waiting more than 2 weeks and closed my account without sending me any acknowledgement. It's very annoying and still waiting for my cheque by post. Called to them many times, no clear answer. Reviewed on: 5th August 2024
