I've been with Halifax for a decade now as they have excellent customer service, offer great deals with their current account holders and the app is the best out of all banks I have been with, which is important as I use it daily for several different purposes Reviewed on: 12th January 2022

Supportive with rewards

4
Halifax offer a straightforward experience with rewards at a time when other bank accounts don't have much to offer. It is relatively easy to get through to a UK call centre if needed, although most things can be accomplished online. The call centre staff are supportive, offering extra time and care if you have identified health needs such as anxiety. The account offers £5 per month for exceeding a certain account balance or spending a certain amount on the debit card. There is also cashback for spending at certain retailers. Downsides are that interest rates aren't high, that you have to remember to activate the cashback each month rather than it being automatic, and the amounts needed to earn £5 per month are quite high. However, these factors are either common to other banks or better than banks that don't offer rewards at all Reviewed on: 8th January 2022
