Review of the Halifax, Reward Current Account:

Easy to switch and keep track of spending and saving. Plus little rewards each month

4
I've been pleasantly surprised with Halifax, I switched from another bank I had been with for years mainly because they offered a good switch deal. I didn't know anyone else at the time who used Halifax so it felt a bit of a gamble, but I've been very happy with them and would definitely recommend them to anyone. Reviewed on: 6th February 2020

I can say they are my friends, almost my family, they really care about me.

The way the help every time I go to their branch or I contact them by email, they are always fast to answer, fast to provide with a solution to my problem, enquiry, they solve it! and they can provided with new information that fully helps me again as they know what I need Reviewed on: 8th November 2015

£5 reward is good, but that's it

4
A good account with no monthly fee and a £5 reward as long as you hit their criteria. Reviewed on: 4th November 2015

Started well and remained so

From receiving the switching bonus quickly and being transferred without problem, i was happy fro the start and since then having met the criteria for the monthly reward,i have always received this and have no reason to criticize how Halifax have run my account. Reviewed on: 30th August 2015

easy to use

easy to operate current account and I get a £5 monthly reward. Staff helpful and friendly Reviewed on: 30th August 2015

Amazing service

5
Could not rate this company any higher. Always helpful and their online banking tool is just amazing. Always able to check my money. Reviewed on: 29th August 2015

More than expected

5
I've had a savings account with Halifax for a very long time, but never banked with Halifax before. But since I've switched, I've been glad. From their reward accounts bonuses (of £5 interest), to the Credit Cards £5 cash back for £300+ spend - Halifax have made banking with them worthwhile, as well as easy. No fiddly app required to log in online (unlike HSBC/First Direct and Barclays). The staff at a number of branches I've had to go into have always been very helpful. Definitely a bank worth banking with. Reviewed on: 29th August 2015

£5 monthly reward and £100 switch bonus

5
When I opened my account, I was content to receive a £5 monthly reward for my day-to-day banking. I was later pleased to find out that I was entitled to switch my old account and gain a £100 bonus! Reviewed on: 29th August 2015

A regular but small bonus

4
The monthly £5 bonus for savers is a small extra but certainly below what you could get elsewhere if you have a lot of money in your account.The service i have found to be average over the phone but in branch i am very happy with how efficient the branch is in dealing with queries for who i can get hold of quickly. Reviewed on: 26th August 2015

GREAT VALUE

5
Switched to this bank after getting fed up with Barclays and the £100 incentive to switch was too good to miss. Switch went through smoothly and I now also get £5 a month which is more than I got with Barclays. Staff in branch helpful - no problems so far. Really pleased Reviewed on: 26th August 2015

Stop sending paper bills

3
When I first opened my account, I opted for paper statements. I got a notification on the online banking platform to switch to paperless statements for all my accounts so I accepted and entered my password to confirm this. However, I am still getting those pesky paper statements and also the message online telling me to switch when I have done so twice now. Not impressed, Reviewed on: 26th August 2015
