Review of the Halifax, Reward Current Account:

How I MaxMyMoney with Halifax

4
I have a Halifax Reward current account. It pays £5 month ( soon dropping to £3) if you have two direct debits and pay in £750 month. I have £750 that circles every month between several different bank accounts thus earning me interest in these accounts. I use the interest that I earn from the Halifax to pay for my mobile phone bill every month which is exactly £5 on a special deal with Plusnet. So in essence my mobile is free every month for me. Halifax is generally good service and when I gave had problems they have been happy to help. #MaxMyMoney Reviewed on: 1st March 2017

Life saver for phones

My partners phone broke. The process to sort out a replacement was so easy and quick. Reviewed on: 13th August 2022

Excellent service!

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

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

Constant early rate cuts

Used to bank and have every saving possible with them until they continually cut everything. Now taken my business elsewhere, shame as app and interweb banking is well designed.and easy to use. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Friendly helpful staff

Love I can set up bank transfers by phone I have poor mobility so their telephone banking service is fantastic. In house advisors are also highly trained, and advise on the best products for you. Our Kettering Branch should win an award. Best Bank ever been with, and I am 70 now. Ours is the ULTIMATE REWARD ACCOUNT we like the extra benefits and overdraft facilities too.
