Since the turn of the century, the Halifax bank has undergone a major re-branding transformation and is now widely recognised as the bank behind ‘Howard’- the all-singing and dancing face of the company.
The bank’s merger with the Bank of Scotland (to create HBOS plc) has enabled it to provide customers with a full range of financial services such as share dealing, estate agency, loans, pensions and even pet insurance. In terms of banking, customers are offered the choice of two basic bank accounts.
Although the "Big Four" banks offer a bigger high street presence, Halifax still boasts around 800 bank branches in the UK, in addition to its estate agencies.
Halifax Internet Banking
The internet banking service from Halifax lets users manage all their Halifax accounts (for those who hold more than one) into one portfolio, including credit cards and share dealing.
The bank’s innovative WebSaver service allows account holders to carefully monitor as many pots of money as they wish, while the handy holiday money facility lets users order currency online.
Statements up to 60 transactions in arrears can be viewed and transfers to pretty much any UK account can be carried out or scheduled for a future date.
In terms of security, online users are protected by a full anti-fraud guarantee ensuring there is no financial risk involved in using Halifax ’s internet service.
