Advantages: great overall
Disadvantages: not enough branches
The halifax is one of those building societies where everyone wants to help, loads of different accounts, easy to contact and a good appointment system means if you want to see someone theres no long wait. I think for a starter account their solo acc is ideal. Youngsters dont have a cheque card or book, but still access their money through the machines. They can also pay by card whereever solo is accepted. The advantage of an account like this is it cannot get overdrawn so the account holder lives within their budget......... good service and great staff along with regular statements couldnt ask for more.

- 22/08/00 I agree with you - I could sing their praises all the way to the bank - ha ha! But, you forgot to mention that they are still one of the banks that charge £1 to withdraw from other banks cash machines.
They also allow me to send them my cheques via post to pay into my account and they do not charge for dollar cheques under $25. The branch in my city (don't know about the rest of the country) they have a rule now that you can only go in and withdraw a minimum of £300. Anything lower and you have to get it from the cash machine.
Branches are closing fast people will have to continue paying £1 for using any cash machine or take a bus ride to a branch! |
