Review of the Halifax, Reward Current Account:

A rewarding experience!

4
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 rewards for using a current account as normal Reviewed on: 4th February 2023

Cancelled switch. Account impossible to close

1
I tried to do switch from Lloyds to Halifax because they had offer of £150 for switch in September. However, they cancelled my switch, and when I called them they gave me reason : "because of Queen's death". After all I asked them to not proceed the switch and close my account, as they would not give me the £150. Also visited Halifax personally - and the reason the switch didn't go through this time was different - my current bank (Lloyds) didn't accept the switch, they also told me that my account is empty and they cannot provide me a statement that my account is closed. Few months later I still have an account in Halifax which I don't use and fees associated with it, which I receive on my email. Reviewed on: 14th November 2022

Mortgage with Halifax means being bullied and disrespected

1
I have a mortgage with Halifax and I called to change the interest fee in my advantage. Their mortgage advisor kept trying to convince me not to do it, saying it will be in my disadvantage, although it was in my advantage I had the right to change it. Then he bullied me asking me many times when am I going to finish paying my debt, although I have 30 years left on my loan. I paid a fee to change my interest fee and the Halifax bank doesn’t show that they received the payment not even the third day after I made the payment. They’re postponing me until they change the interest fees again to higher ones. I am drained and I don’t recommend this bank because they’re just bullies and thieves Reviewed on: 30th August 2022

Always have gone above and beyond for me, have a few accounts with different providers but this is the one I find most user friendly. Reviewed on: 28th March 2022

Great Experience

5
I tried the digital Neo-Banks but they fall well short of the service from Halifax who have a great digital offering backed up by a solid high street presence with solid and reliable customer service. Reviewed on: 17th February 2022

Decent current account that pays me £5 a month

5
I really like this current account, it pays £5 a month in the titular "reward" providing certain criteria are met (paying in £1500 per month and spending £500 on debit card). £60 per year for just doing what I normally do is pretty good, particularly when you look at the feeble interest rates on most savings accounts. The app is great - you can see multiple accounts in one place, freeze and unfreeze your debit card, make instant payments etc. Definitely recommend. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2022

£5 a month for nothing
