...After having problems with my previous bank, I decided to open an account with halifax, this was about five years ago. 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 long and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Five years later Five years on and I cant say anything bad about the services provided by Halifax, Eighteen months ago was when I first started to use online banking, I found their web address at the back of my...

Halifax online banking

Advantages: Manage all your financial transactions online
Disadvantages: can't deposit!

...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 your logging in details from the Halifax signing in is simple. You just have to log in with your user name, password and the answer to a security question. On gaining access to your acount your account information will be displayed. It is possible to have most of your accounts included in the online service including current accounts, mortgages, loans, credit cards etc Once you have registered you are able to conduct most of your banking transactions online including setting up standing orders and direct...

HSBC - Online Banking

Advantages: Saves lots of time
Disadvantages: Very few

...I have had a current account with the HSBC for many years and have not had any problems or hassles that I can think of, I know that many of you will have had bad experiences for one reason or another but I have not. My main moan however is that over the last couple of years it has become increasingly difficult to contact my branch or to see someone in person as most branches only open a few hours a day and now even the two main branches where I live are no longer staffed on Saturdays. As I both work full time Monday to Fridays and I also have my own business I was finding it ever more difficult to get to a branch and so when I was told about their online banking facility I decided to give it a go. Of course I had the usual concerns about security but a friend had recommended the online banking to me and I was assured that in the event...

Hassle-free online banking

Advantages: check account balances and details, transfer money, pay bills online
Disadvantages: you don't get to chat to other customers while waiting in a queue

...We've had our main current and savings accounts with Abbey National for many years now. Initially there was a small branch within a few minutes' walk from our home, but unfortunately that closed down, and while most transactions happen automatically, it was a bit of a nuisance having to drive four or five miles to an Abbey branch if we needed to do anything out of the ordinary. Telephone banking was all very well in theory, but any time we tried to use the service we would be put 'on hold' for an unknown amount of time, and often gave up before reaching the relevant person to speak to (although on the rare occasions we did reach someone, they were extremely helpful). So we were delighted with the introduction of Abbey National online banking. We were already somewhat used to secure online transactions, and while I had initial...

Review of Abbey Online Banking

Outstanding Online Banking

Advantages: Fast, efficient, Wide variety of transactions
Disadvantages: Haven't found any yet

...As I promised in my Natwest bank I am reviewing the Customer Service they offer through their Internet banking system. For those who didn?t read that opinion I will give you a brief synopsis of my opinion of Natwest Banking. I started banking with Natwest about 15 years ago. I am very happy with the services and accounts that they offer and am particularly impressed by their internet banking. I have stopped using Natwest as my main bank about a year ago as I could get much higher rates of interest from other banks. However, I still get my main salary paid into Natwest and run my Direct Debits out of this account. The reason behind this is the Online banking that they provide. You can log onto he main Natwest home page and access information about the online services that Natwest Provides: - OnLine Banking The simple...

This Lancastrian likes Yorkshire Bank Online

Advantages: A high standard of customer service if you do need to contact the bank
Disadvantages: As I use the internet banking I would like to see a paperless statement

..."YORKSHIRE BANK" "INTERNET BANKING I moved to the Yorkshire Bank eighteen months ago after an horrific experience with Abbey Bank ( but that is worthy of a review in it's own right!!). I opened a current account and a savings account and I have been more than satisfied with the service I have received over that time. I receive a statement regularly, although for envirnomental reasons would really like to see the option of paper free invoices with having access to my statements on the internet. Yorkshire Bank was founded in 1859 in Halifax, West Yorkshire, by Colonel Edward Akroyd and is part of the National Australia Bank Group - Yorkshire Bank is a trading name of Clydesdale Bank PLC. I live in a rural area so don't get to the bank too often, consequently internet and telephone banking are very...

Review of Lloyds TSB Online Banking

Worst Internet Banking Site Ever!

Advantages: Does the job, Free antivirus, Secure with PINSentry
Disadvantages: Only 1 month worth of statements is accessible, PINSentry, Not user friendly to do some things

...INTRODUCTION Barclays.co.uk is obviously Barclays Bank's website. The majority of visitors will go there to look up information on products, find contact details, apply for products and to use the online banking service. The site has quite a lot of information on the home page but different types of products (Current accounts, Insurance, Loans, Savings, etc) and different user groups (i.e. Personal, Premier, Business, Commercial Banking) and divided into separate sections so you can filter down into what you're looking for. There are usually a number of banners and graphics advertising current offers. I think the site looks quite professional, with the exception of one thing. At the moment, I see a number of light green links linking to products of certain categories of products. These are over a white background and although this is...
