Halifax's online banking service is all right I suppose, but they recently performend very poorly in a security poll for internet banking sites which was widely reported in the newspapers. (If memory serves they came about 4th out of the top five most popular banks, and together with one of the other banks, received a special notice for their ...  Read the complete review

This is a review of the Halifax online banking website. I joined Halifax bank about 18 months ago, enticed by their £100 offer for opening a current account. Even though I have banked with HSBC and Barclays in the past it is with Halifax that I first used online banking. ~What is good?~ One of the things I find good ...  Read the complete review

I'm not sure about their security, it could be coincidence, but twice now when opening an online account with the Halifax, I have immediately been sent a bogus email looking like it was from the Halifax, I was nearly caught the first time. Once is OK a coincidence, but twice? If only twice though, my Farther who is 88 years old just had the same, ...  Read the complete review

I have been a customer of the Halifax Bank for over 30 years now. When they first introduced on line banking I immediately signed up to this and what a boon it has been! Signing up is an easy process and you are required to choose a user name and password and to provide answers to several security questions. Once you have received ...  Read the complete review

This review is going to be just about the online aspect of Halifax banking - I will do another one for the branch later. I have been a customer of Halifax for over 20 years and have been using their online banking service for about 7 or 8 years now. I have a number of accounts with various banks and like to use online banking as it is ...  Read the complete review

I have been with the 'Halifax' for as long i can remember, and have never had any major problems up to now. My whole family uses the Halifax because my uncle is the manager of our local branch. I chose only to have a cash card ( visa electron) with a £300 overdraft, over the years i have been offered various credit cards but i resist ...  Read the complete review

This is worst kind of system-administered banking I have come across. We applied up fo an easycash account, and were immediately sent two letters - one (but only one?!) with my name spelt incorrectly (truncated - my name's 8 letters long!). One letter requested passport photocopies (only for one of us!), the other gave us a ...  Read the complete review

Now I have held a Halifax account for years back, I think I joined when I was still at school as they gave me some freebie or another I don't remember what it was. Probably through habit as much as anything else I have stayed with them with my first current account, saving account and mortgage. Currently I hold a current ...  Read the complete review

I went into the Halifax to change my partner's current account into a joint account for us both. 8 weeks later I still hadn't received my card and pin number and so phoned them to see what was going on. Because I could not tell them what the balance and most recent transaction was (impossible given I was phoning because I had not received my card ...  Read the complete review

The reason I chose Halifax Well they were always advertised on tv and I needed a new account for my wages to be paid into, so I went in made an appointment and opened my current account, which did`nt take ...  Read the complete review

Halifax when a building society was fine but since they changed to a bank they are terrible.. I used to have a current account until they downgraded it to a bank account ??? At the time I was out of work - then I moved areas and tried to upgrade at least get a small overdraught facility which they did and me trying to be a responsible borrower ...  Read the complete review

I have been using Halifax online for about three years since I opened a web saver account with them. I found the process of opening the online account very easy, and since then it is one of the reasons i have moved my bank account to Halifax due to the ease of doing everything you need to do - paying credit card bills, transferring money to other ...  Read the complete review

I have tried to use this service for the last 12 months and I have not yet had a completely successful experience. Today for example the logon page has failed to open on several occassions. My usual expreience is that I can only ever see the first page of any statements whether it is my online account or my credit card, page not found error ...  Read the complete review

I have not been using halifax online long, but I have found it easy to navigate, and I can keep tracks on my banking, as the nearest halifax is twenty miles away in each direction. With halifax online you can view statements and transfer money from one account to another, it is getting very handy now, as I dont have to go twenty miles ...  Read the complete review

Ill admit it I love the Halifax!! I joined the Halifax a few years ago after finally deciding to ditch Natwest and I?ve never looked back! The bank offers everything under the sun from insurance to paying your bills, the staff are helpful and in my experience all lovely people willing to go the extra mile to help. Now I have everything ...  Read the complete review

Having been using the online feature of Halifax's banking I have found the website incredibly easy to use, and much better than some of the other online bank's sites have been. LOGGING ON This is much easier and simpler than the other high street banks, which require the remembering of a long (upto 10-digit) number along ...  Read the complete review

After some bad experiences with some of the four main high street banks (Nat Worst et al.) I transferred to the Halifax. For the most part they have given good service, better and more efficient than the above big four banks. Their telephone banking system, well, I hate those systems where you have to listen to one interminable prompt ...  Read the complete review

I have over the years been quite fickle with money. I have chased good deals and moved accounts around to maximise the returns on my pitiful savings. I also enjoy claiming free gifts and interest free deals for switching credit cards and have on three occasions taken a £25 bribe from First Direct to open an account with them. All accounts ...  Read the complete review
