Avoid Like The Plague
Contacted for help regarding excessive credit card interest. Their solution? Pay more. Never behind with payments, nowhere near maxed out and they closed my account which must have impacted on credit rating. Usury used to be illegal.The system doesn't allow for a zero star rating so 1 it is.

Brand New Customer And A Little Lost When It Comes
Brand new customer and a little lost when it comes to opening accounts online! The young lady who helped me was fantastic!! She was friendly, professional, and very patient with me throughout the entire process! My first and only bank account in Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland is with Halifax Bank, based solely on the excellent customer service that I received from this "Shining Star" in the banking business! She is the example everyone in the Customer Service Industry needs to strive to emulate!! I am not allowed to mention her by name in this review but she is the one who helped the kind elderly gentleman who had just returned home to Omagh after a 67 year absence!!
Halifax Have Lost My Money
I tried to shut my regular saver account with them online on 7 Sept. Wasn't able do that online so I had to transfer all the funds to Everyday saver. Odd but true.
Tried to shut down the everyday saver account and I plugged in my bank details for money transfer. A very brief black error message floated across the page saying couldn't do it. I contacted online message chat who assured me they had shut the account down. I said clearly in my message you can't do this as you don't have my bank details where to send my money so I expected them to request them.
They didn't ask me for my bank details which i expressly said I would need to give them. Now my everyday saver account says £0!!
Messaging service also got rid of me and said couldn't help me but I really don't trust them at all.
I now have no money in my accounts / it's gone in a puff of smoke!!! Several calls to customer service on 8 Sept all telling me different things. Eg systems down, IT faults and they all contradicted each other. Couldn't help me. Told me to visit a branch.
Visit to Halifax Watford branch on 9 Sept who told me they had no idea what's wrong and can't help me!! Said they will investigate & contact me soon.... wrote my details on a scrap of paper! Don't hold out any hope.
No case reference no timeframe no procedure or complaints procedure going forward given.
Not explained if I'm in a proper complaint system. No hope of a resolution.
Couldn't get rid of me fast enough.
Perhaps it's internal fraud? How can no one a large institution not be able to help me and how can they lose my money?! I did phone the fraud Department who said unable to help me.
No one seems to be able to help me and I'm extremely stressed

The Worst And Most Clueless Bank In The Uk Stuck In The 90s
By far and away the worst bank in the UK.
They are stuck in the 90s.
27 times in three months I have sent payments to my staff and Halifax block the payment and tell me to call their fraud hotline or they will remove my banking access to approve the payment.
They can't do something as simple as send a digital statement of a closed account my accountant required.
Their staff are incompetent. Their app is slow. Their staff take hours to respond to chats and close the chat without bothering to ask if they have resolved the problems they create, which means going through chat again from the beginning, then the next chat agent does exactly the same thing.
I have had my debit card declined in Asda with text asking me to confirm I'm trying to pay for my groceries, which in one case caused me to sit in Asda for 2 hours on the phone to 6 different staff members who are equally clueless and inept.
DO NOT EVER OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH THIS BOOMER BANK.

Personal Social Service
Not a regular paying in at hyde Manchester but his Halifax staff need to understand people are just coming g to pay in and go, not to start a conversation that is so long and becomes too personal needs to understand that speaking out so loud of how much money we have in account isn't necessary. Customers know what they have doesn't need to be repeated. Other wiating Customers can hear. That made me feel very vulnerable due to her saying how much I have in the account. Very bad service also please try not to make a conversation so long, it isn't social networking at a bank!

I first opened a Halifax Building Society account in 1971. Since Halifax pretendecd to become a bank the service has declined drastically.. I live abroad and also have a Czech account and have had accounts in several countries. Halifax is now even worse than Barclays.
When I log into online banking , I am given a code which I have to repeat in answer to a phone call. Having clearly said two codes twice each, I was told to reset my information. I did and the same occured again. I was asked to ring a number. I did and was asked to press another number and another and....so it went on and on and on...
My Czech bank seds a code to my phone which I then enter on the computer. Simple.

Dispicable Contract Change
Changed the amount paid to them 3 years in to a 5 year FIXED TERM mortgage. Essentially cancelling the contract signed. The reason given to us was to ensure that they could get their grubby hands on more interest from the account. This will have severely NEGATIVE knock-on effects for the next remortgage as an elderly mortgage holder. They are everything that is wrong with banking.
Q&A
How long after my new debit card is created can I get a statement from an ATM?
How many days history are transactions shown on an ATM statement?
How long will it take once I take my id to the bank for my card to arrive?
Based on my experience with the Halifax, once all documentation, ID etc have been completed and processed, about 14 days.
Halifax bank have allowed E C Car rentals to debit my account for a car hire contract that I had only for 24 hours! My friend asked to hire him a car out for 24 hours. He kept the car without me knowing. About a month and half later the hire company rang me and asked for authorisation to extend the hire car on my visa debit card. I said I do not give you authority to take money out of my account and said report the car stolen and report the matter to police. She said I'm sorry but you gave your card details and I'm going to take money out of my account and put the phone down on me. This happened last year in April and E C Car rentals have debited my card for £819.00. My bank is refusing to help me. What should I do?
Section 75 only applies to credit cards and if the merchant/bank are at fault which neither are.
Can anyone recommend getting a Reward Current account from the Halifax? Are the Halifax really as bad as these reviews?
Ok once the account is up and running, big problems and delays in moving direct debit instructions from existing bank resulting in missed payments/
