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

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

Easy Peasy

Have had this account for several years now - its so easy - pay in £750 per month, have 2 x direct debits and as long as I stay in credit during the whole month even by just 1p I get a £5 reward direct into my account the following month. A no-brainer - what's not to like. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2015

Really great account. Not so great customer service.

Whilst this account is absolutely fantastic for rewards and suchlike, the customer service really leaves something to be desired. They really need to work on it! Reviewed on: 14th August 2015

Brilliant customer service and rewards on top as well!

My partner and myself are currently in the process of buying a house. We wanted to have a joint bank account and went for our meeting with Halifax. The advisor we spoke to was very professional and friendly, not pushing us but letting us choose which account suited our needs, Needless to say we went with the reward account. All we have to do is put in £750 a month and have two direct debits set up. As long as we don't go overdrawn, we will be rewarded with and a extra £5 a month. Fantastic! When we've bought our house I'm thinking of changing my personal current account to Halifax as well! They'll even do all the work themselves to have me as a customer! Reviewed on: 10th August 2015

Amazing, finally a good reward programme!

Having been with my previous current account provider for 10 years and having nothing to show for it, I switched to Halifax Reward. Not only was the switching process seamless and done quickly, I now enjoy the £5 per month benefit every month! Easy to use & it's great to finally feel rewarded! Every little helps!
