Review of the Halifax, Reward Current Account:

Tricky start but eventually all sorted

I have had a reward saver account for a while now and everything was fine for a good while until I needed to change some of my direct debits and the way money came into and went out of my account. Suddenly the £5 month reward stopped arriving. So I set up a meeting with an advisor and went away after an hour hoping all was sorted, but 3 months later I realised things were still not working out properly. I went into a different branch and had another meeting with a very helpful advisor who has at last helped me sort everything out so it now all works well and the £5 arrives on time. The Halifax also back paid all the £5 I had missed out on, so it was definitely worth me persevering with them to get it sorted. So in essence I would say that this is a good account to have but keep an eye on your account. Reviewed on: 24th December 2015

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.

Inhsve been with Halifax for many years I would recommend this account & company to anyone. Reviewed on: 7th November 2017

Excellent bank account

This account is fantastic as it gives you money back for your everyday banking and direct debits. You can even choose companies you shop with to gain rewards from! Also the service in branch and on the phone is great too! Reviewed on: 6th November 2017
