“Brilliant so Far!!!!”
Written on: 30/04/2013 by jimbob-jamie (1 review written)
Changed my account over from Nationwide, due to many issues when trying to make payments online. Went into branch on Saturday to apply for an account. Was in there half hour, had my sort code and and account number when I left. I also did the switching service for £100 Had to go back into branch on Monday to sign the switching form. Got the the £100 the same day and by Friday all my direct debits had been transferred and I received my card. So far it has been excellent, very... (read more)

“Current Account Switch”
Written on: 28/04/2013 by RALFE (5 reviews written)
Tempted by a £100 offer to switch to the Halifax and a payment in lieu of interest each month while in credit, I applied to switch from the NatWest. The website quoted 'We'll keep you informed during the switch' and 'The switch should only take 4 weeks once accepted.' I was accepted, given an account number, sent a debit card and PIN, but never heard another word - nor was I credited with the £100! After 5 weeks I tried to phone for an update, various times, but was always kept on a... (read more)

I made a cliam on a stolen iphone and even after hearing many complaints about how long it takes I still thought it won't happen to me.

“Get worse every year”
Written on: 15/03/2013
Been with the Halifax for over 25years. Good points: Cash points accept deposits Internet and phone banking is easy to use. Bad points: They just keep on getting worse. Since the credit crunch the service has been fragmented at best and woeful in terms of problem solving and solution finding - instead they just keep throwing me cash as compensation, over £140 in three months. I'll move when the best opportunity presents itself, it's just unacceptable - given my length of service, this... (read more)

I have been banking with Halifax for 5-6 years and I'm very happy with their services. The £5 a month bonus for paying in my salary to the current account is nice and when my girlfriend and I were setting up a joint account I did not even consider moving to another bank. In fact we have a individual current account each and a joint account and receive £5 a month for each of them. This is not a scam, but a technique that was recommended by the staff at the branch (who are always... (read more)

Halifax is the worse bank i have ever used in europe, Sweden, France and Norway in competition has always offered me good customer services. Halifax offers a telephone help line that costs alot of money. It doesn't either let you use your own money, it's there, but it's not available, and the reasons to why are unknown and not shared with you, And it's also very hard to find out, or get in touch with someone that may help you.

“Undue, Harsh, Irresponsible Criticism”

It is a testament to the current way the human race as a society shuns responsibility that so many people on here have given rash, harsh abrasive reviews to a bank that in my opinion has never given me one ounce of difficulty. I have always run my account responsibly and have sadly on occasion received fees for which I myself was responsible for.

My account was blocked without any prior information. I was realised only when I put my card into a cash machine to withdraw some cash for my travel card. My card was sucked into the machine. I was left with no money to travel and had to borrow from one of my co-passenger. What a shame the way they are dealing with customers!!! I called the helpdesk who advised me to go to a local branch with an ID proof and I idid so. The branch manager doesn't know any detail. What he knows is that I wont be able to bank with Halifax anymore. I haven't done anything wrong in my knowledge. I have more than £2500 balance in my account. Now I can't pay my rent, bills and even not to my friend and co-passenger who helped me the other morning. Is that how bank treats a customer??? I am with Halifax for last 5 years. No bad marks have been reported so far about me. I am deeply devastated.

Avoid this organisation like the plague. They pay you £5 a month on the reward account as compensation to put up with their shody company. We've spent more than that trying to sort out the mess the useless cretins in the switching team created. Infact were not far off the £100 they originally bribed us to join with. Once we've sorted out this mess they've created we're off to a better bank, infact maybe back to the one we left! When we joined they were full of promises. Not one was... (read more)

My wife and myself have had a joint current account with the bank of Scotland for many years without any problems.

I've held an account with Halifax for about 10 years . Yet am now being charged £20 for being just £2.65 overdrawn for 20 days . Being a dormant account unused for several months an unexpected small debit (thanks Ebay) caused me to use a very small bit of my 1100 pounds overdraft. Hence the charge. Sadly when a Bank cocks up its Human Error and they adjust the account etc but when a customer does likewise its Tough Luck - read the small print and a complete refusal to exercise... (read more)

Well anyone has different experience, although I shall see now if it really worth the money as I got the phone repaired elsewhere for £30 and have now lost it a week later. Had to claim the insurance anyway and I would of paid 2 x 100 instead of 130 all together...I saw quite many bad reviews for it though, so it probably a matter of good luck!

Written on: 26/04/2009
I asked 3 different staff members from different branches what would happen if a fraudster ran up an unauthorised overdraft on the visa debit card of my Halifax current account. All 3 immediately thought that I would probably lose out but after taking a minute to talk to another person they said that all would be ok. None of the staff members knew what a chargeback was.

I've phoned Halifax before asking for certain details on my Credit Card statements for clarification on certain things, and it's true that they only have access to six months worth of in depth info apparently. I didn't mind, I just went online and tried to find the transactions on there. Alas, I did have to call back and order a copy statement. I paid the fee and rightfully so, I had destroyed the original, my fault. No-one complains when ordering copies of death certificates, birth certificates and other documents and having to pay, so why should ordering statements cause such chagrin? Honestly, I despair at times. People need to grow up.
