How to Download a Bank Statement From Halifax

You need a Halifax statement for a lender, a landlord or your tax records, and you may have seen messages about Halifax becoming Lloyds. That change is real, but it does not get in the way. Fortunately, you can still download a bank statement from Halifax in a few taps, and the steps barely change.

This guide covers the Halifax app, online banking and the Lloyds app. It also shows how far back statements go, how to get paper copies, and how to turn a PDF into a spreadsheet.

Key Takeaways

• In the app, select your account, tap the three-dot menu, then choose Download or print statement.
• In online banking, select your account, then Statement options, then download, print or order a paper copy.
• Halifax is changing to Lloyds. Halifax accounts will become Lloyds branded, there is nothing to do today, and the Lloyds app uses the same statement steps.
• Statements go back up to 7 years in online banking and at least ten years in the app.
• Paper statements arrive within 10 working days, and Halifax lists no fee for an extra statement.

How to Download a Bank Statement From Halifax

There are two ways to download a bank statement from Halifax: the mobile app and online banking. Both give you a statement you can save as a PDF or print.

In the Halifax app

1. Sign in to the Halifax app.
2. Select the account you want to view.
3. Tap the three-dot menu.
4. Choose Download or print statement to save or print it.

For a posted copy instead, choose Order paper statements from the same menu.

In Halifax online banking

1. Sign in to online banking on a computer.
2. Select the account you want to view.
3. On the account page, select Statement options.
4. Choose to print, download or order a paper copy.

Downloading Statements After the Move to Lloyds

Halifax’s own website says the Halifax brand is changing to Lloyds, and that Halifax current accounts will become Lloyds branded. It also says there is nothing you need to do today, and that it will give clear notice when it is time to move. Some customers can already move across from a message in the Halifax app.

Your account does not change. Halifax says your account number, sort code, payees, standing orders and Direct Debits all stay the same. Once you move, you manage your accounts in the Lloyds app instead.

The good news is that the statement steps are the same. In the Lloyds app, select your account, tap the three-dot menu, then choose Download or print statement. Lloyds online banking works the same way: select Statement options from your account page.

Watch for scams around the move. Halifax says any real step will always start in its app or online banking, never from a link, message or call. It also says it will never ask you to log in through a link or QR code, or to move your money. If someone does, it is a fraudster.

How Far Back Can You Get Halifax Statements?

Halifax lets you access statements up to 7 years old in online banking. In the app, you can go back at least ten years. Lloyds gives exactly the same figures for its app and online banking, so nothing is lost when you move.

For closed accounts, Halifax says copy statements remain available at any time during the following five years. When you close a current account, it also provides your history for up to five years at no cost.

How to Order a Paper Halifax Statement

Some lenders and solicitors still ask for a posted statement. You can order one in three ways:

• In the app: tap the three-dot menu on your account, then Order paper statements.
• In online banking: select Statement options, then order a paper copy.
• By phone: call Halifax on 0345 720 3040, or ask in a branch.

Paper statements arrive within 10 working days, so order early if you have a deadline. Halifax’s fees page lists no fee for an extra statement. That said, its paper-free terms say a charge can apply if you ask for further copies of the same statement, so check before ordering duplicates.

Can You Download Halifax Transactions as a Spreadsheet?

Halifax statements are designed to be read, saved or printed, not edited. For raw data, Halifax offers a midata export, which shows your previous 12 months of spending and banking history. To find it, select More actions on the account, choose Account services, then select the midata export button.

You can also search your transactions instead of scrolling through statements. Use the magnifying glass in the app, or Search in online banking, where you can filter by date range and transaction type.

Turning a Halifax PDF Into Excel or CSV

A PDF works well as proof of income or address. Even so, it is slow going when you need to total a month of spending or reconcile your accounts.

Halifax and Lloyds also print short codes that confuse many readers, such as FPI for a Faster Payment in and CPT for a cash machine withdrawal. Once the statement is in a spreadsheet, you can filter on those codes in seconds.

To get there, upload the PDF to our Halifax bank statement converter. It puts every transaction into its own row in Excel or CSV. For other banks, our bank statement converter handles any PDF statement.

Conclusion

To download a bank statement from Halifax, select your account, tap the three-dot menu and choose Download or print statement, or use Statement options in online banking. If you have moved to the Lloyds app, the steps are identical. Statements reach back up to 7 years online and at least ten years in the app, and paper copies take up to 10 working days. When you need to analyse the numbers, convert the PDF into a spreadsheet.
