Halifax 0%, 20mths - Secure Site?

angelc5

Wasn't sure where to put this, as it's more to do with the Halifax site rather than the card itself

Clicked on the link from the recent email about 0% for 20 months with Halifax - all sounds great, but the form page isn't secure (not https), although it says within the design of the page that it is.

Are there any Halifax (online) customers out there, or someone that has recently applied for this card that hasn't had any security problems? I know it's probably ok, but thought I'd check first before I give all the details!

Thanks!:D

It's probably best to apply via your internet banking page just to make sure.

I'm going to go with the natwest one instead! I'm not convinced with the security of the Halifax website, and I found another post where someone has had secure banking issues with them :eek:

To be honest with you, no website is 100% secure, there are so many factors involved that its not possible to ensure that, if someone really wanted to and had the time and know-how, it would be possible to get in regardless.

Hi Azrael - yeh I'm aware of that, but not to have at least a https is crazy!

HTTPS for me.....

I think you'll be able to find a post about every bank you can think of, by someone who's had problems with their online banking.

You'll find that Halifax are significantly ahead of Natwest when it comes to the usability of their online banking.
