Halifax Student Current Account Review

At first it seemed to be a good idea to have a Halifax Student Account because i have been a customer with Halifax atleast 3 years before going to Uni. Also my parents were with them which made it practical.



BIG MISTAKE!! Although i got a decent overdraft starting with 1,000 and increasing to 17,000 in my second year that was all they were willing to give me. It started with me going overdrawn by accident by 20p yes 20p!! They charged me £28.00 for this. I couldnt believe it i rang them up and said there was nothing they could do even though i was a student. SO i payed the £28.00 as muched as it killed me too.



Then about a month later i got another charge i was confused because i hadnt gone over it again?? It was a charge for getting charged i kid you not!!! Im currently looking for another bank. Dont go for this Student account the £3,000 might sound good but most likely you wont get half of that!!!!
