To Euroburst. Please let us know Why we should avoid Halifax?

Re: Nine UK banks launch fee-free accounts
 

Is this supposed to be directed at me??

I personally have never had any issues with using Halifax bank accounts but there are some forum members that have. The main issues they had were (1) mismatching names and (2) personal accounts being used for business purposes.

Any bank is capable of causing a problem with both the above but in the vast majority of cases they never bother to do anything.

NatWest and Hsbc have been good for me

Re: Nine UK banks launch fee-free accounts
 

I use lloyds personally and they're fine

I've opened a bunch of bank accounts

if I register more stealths will it work if I use mismatched name?

from what others are saying, if you use lloyds or halifax it's bad.

but santander doesn't mind mismatched names as long as account number and sort code are fine?

Is that it?

Possible telling of the future? Sounds ominous

Lloyds are fine until they are not and they lock all the accounts.

I would just avoid them. There are so many banks out there why take the risk?

Thats a great list.
I have been with Halifax for years and they are kinda very good.
Llyods can be funny at times.
Otherwise rest are Solid

Just a quick note re -

Yorkshire and Clydesdale Banks Readycash Account

- it can not be opened directly ie you have to go through the long process of opening a normal current account and then if you fail to get a normal current account, then they offer you a Readycash account.

Halifax actually now state in the transfer section of their site that the account name isn't checked. Lloyds is the same.

Re: Nine UK banks launch fee-free accounts
 

Are you sure that is for incoming transfers not just outgoing transfers?

Re: Nine UK banks launch fee-free accounts
 

It was for an outgoing transfer. In the fields where you enter name of recipient, there is a text note stating (this is not checked).

Re: Nine UK banks launch fee-free accounts
 

Yep that has always been the same

Its just the bank staying that if your sending it to the wrong person they are not responsible

Re: Nine UK banks launch fee-free accounts
 

Standard risk disclosure.

Is it possible to get the cards in others peoples names

Re: Nine UK banks launch fee-free accounts
 

I am receiving in Halifax from paypal and checked the statements there is no name on the actual transaction. Do you think bank can still see the name registered with paypal.

Re: Nine UK banks launch fee-free accounts
 

Yes, they can. It tends to only become an issue when your bank account is manually reviewed.

Re: Nine UK banks launch fee-free accounts
 

any one experienced using Halifax in paypal please advise I am zero on it?��

Not without committing fraud.
