Halifax Reward current account reviews (197)

BRILLIANT

Fantastic customer service people both in branch and on the phone! Reviewed on: 1st December 2017

An Excellent Free Bank Account

Halifax's Reward Current Account is free and pays £3 per month if you stay in credit and have 2 direct debits and £750+ credited to the account monthly. There are also cashback offers for using your debit card which are paid very quickly. Excellent online banking service and mobile app. Overdrafts charged at 1p per £7 per day which is great for small to medium sized overdrafts. Reviewed on: 20th November 2017

Excellent everything you want from a bank

I've held this account for around 3 years now- it was a switch account, the money was paid in to switch within the week, all direct debits switched straight away. I also get a £3 monthly reward for paying in a certain amount and having two direct debits coming out. Reviewed on: 15th November 2017

A happy customer

I switched to the Halifax Reward Current Account earlier this year after 15 years with First Direct. The switching process was impressively smooth. The online banking interface is intuitive and I've never experienced any problems with it. On the few occasions that I've been into my local Halifax branch I've always found the staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. I have never had to queue. One feature I love about the account (which I didn't know about when I signed up) is the cashback that can be earned when using my Halifax debit card at certain retailers - e.g. supermarkets, restaurants and takeaways. The offers vary from week to week. I've earned a nice bit of extra spending money by using this feature. Overall I'm very happy with the account and have no plans to change bank.

Local excellence

Service is always with a smile in my local Halifax branch and the staff always go out of their way to help. My Reward Current Account is really easy to manage online too and I can choose to receive texts if my balance reaches a specific amount or goes overdrawn. Oh, and I get £3 a month reward which is much more than I would get in interest with a minimal balance. Reviewed on: 13th November 2017

Worth looking at

We use AA, phone insurance, travel insurance and home care facility (plumbing etc). So the fee covers these. It's worth doing the sums and seeing if this account works out well for you. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

nice reward, could do better for disabled customers

Got money for switching and Î£5 a month (now down to Î£3) which i like, but they were not very considering or accommodating for a disabled persons needs. Like the online banking. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Pretty good

This is a good account. The app works well. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Excellent bank

We have been with the Halifax for a number of years and have never experienced anything negative in dealing with them. I now have a relationship associate who rings us every few months, we go over accounts, products and any problems. This is an excellent, personal service. Going in for booked appointments is easy with a professional service, they offer polite, informative help. Their banks are clean, modern facilities and up to date equipment.
