Review of the Halifax, Reward Current Account:

Holiday nightmare turned good

Travel insurance is very good and comprehensive. Purse stolen but quickly settled with minimum fuss and nightmare quickly over Reviewed on: 10th September 2016

£5 reward is good, but that's it

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Decent account with a nice little bonus every month for no effort

My housemate and I use this as a joint account to deal with the household bills. We each pay in a certain amount each month which easily covers the required £750 credit required as one of the qualifying criteria. Paying all our bills from it via various direct debits means we have the second criteria. We pay enough in to cover the bills and then some so the account is always in credit, this means through just running the account we earn £5 per month for nothing - great! We upgraded to the account from what Halifax's kiddycard account (Easycash) so I can't comment on the application process and we didn't get the £100 bonus for switching but the upgrade was smooth and carried out quickly. We have had no problems running the account, we don't have an overdraft so I can't comment on that. Halifax Online is easy to use although their app could be improved, it's a bit dated and the functionality isn't as good as other banks' apps I've used. This means I usually use the website for online banking which is fine. We haven't had to contact Halifax about the account since having it so no comment on the customer service but all round this is a good account which fits certain circumstances. For us it means £60 per year we wouldn't otherwise have had so can'tbe too bad! Reviewed on: 25th August 2015
