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

Great Current Account switching experience and more

Current account switch was well coordinated, i received regular updates throughout the process. I continue to receive regular updates and my monthly reward continues to be unaffected by current account changes - i still receive my £5 per month on top of the £120 i received upon switching. I have also been very happy with the smartphone application which allows me to do everything from my mobile Reviewed on: 9th August 2015

Very rewarding!

I'd like to give this account 5* but what is holding it back is the range of rewards. I think more cashback / more surprise thank yous etc would make this account unbeatable - as it is it is pretty good. Reviewed on: 31st July 2015

Wouldn't think about going elsewhere

I love banking with Halifax. The reward account is really great and Halifax seem to be bringing some new things to us which makes it a step ahead - well recommended. Reviewed on: 21st July 2015

A rewarding experience!

I've been very impressed with my Halifax experience. I've had an account with them for over 8 years and I can honestly say that 1) I've never experienced any issues and 2) the rewards are useful for me, which helps me save a bit of money here and there. Reviewed on: 4th June 2015

good but overdraft fees are extortionate

I've been with The Halifax for years since I was 18. They were always brilliant , helpful staff, signed me up to a student account when I was unemployed so I could have a full account with a check book. However since they changed their overdraft fees I am hugely dissatisfied. i basically might as well be paying Wonga as they charge £1 per day for using your arranged overdraft and yes I know they're lending you money and you shouldn't go overdrawn but how is it helpful to charge people who are short of cash more cash ? I basically end up paying £30 worth of fees every month because I don't have enough money to pay it off so I am trapped with The Halifax until I can. It is scandalous but as usual no uproar, they've been doing it for years now- think of all the money thy make from the poor.... Reviewed on: 29th April 2015

Great Card with good rewards.

This card pays you £5 per month to stay in balance and have 3 direct debits. I was on the ultimate but downgraded as all i was paying £10 a month for was my phone insurance. Now i pay £4 a month for my insurance with another provider and Halifax pays me £5 a month so i am now better off. Reviewed on: 28th April 2015

Best reward account, and free!

You can open a Halifax rewards current account as long as you pay in £750 each month and have two direct debits. They will then reward you with £5 (interest already deducted) meaning you can earn £60 per year. There is no condition that you keep the money in the account so you can remove the money right away afterwards. Pair with 2x Halifax reward credit card and earn even more rewards! Reviewed on: 24th April 2015

A great current account with no fee and rewards

I have banked with the Halifax reward current account for about 5 years now. Each month you get £5 reward as long as you pay your wages in of about £750. If you also have the linked credit card and spend £300 you get another £5 a month. I use the internet banking site which is easy to use and gives me an up to date record of my transactions. I have never had any problems or difficulties with them and they have many branches nationwide so are easy to use Reviewed on: 21st April 2015

Great product all in one place

Easy to use and you get rewarded for saving and buying things with this product. Reviewed on: 20th April 2015

Rewarding and easy.

I recently changed to the Halifax Reward Account and am fully satisfied. As well as receiving the 100 pound cash incentive after less than a week, I also receive 5 pounds a month if I stay out of my overdraft. This is a great incentive to stay out of the overdraft and is a great little treat. Over the year this adds up to an extra sixty pounds on the original 100 for switching. Switching my account was simple as I used the switching service and the information I have received from Halifax is useful. The only downside is if you are somebody who constantly dips in and out of their overdraft, the overdraft fees are more favourable at other banks so i would avoid if this is the case. Apart from this, for people who stay out of their overdraft, I recommend this as a great product. Reviewed on: 20th April 2015
