Review of the Halifax, Reward current account:

A reward just for being me.

To some people, switching bank accounts is an arduous task with so much hassle and wasted time. To me, switching my bank account was the best financial decision I have ever made and I'm reminded what a great bank I'm with every single month. Initially, I thought there was a 'catch' with the limited time offer that was advertised for Halifax bank. "£100 for switching and £5 a month into my account when my wages are deposited?", I questioned in my head. When there is so much to gain, the amount to lose is lessened. I went for it! I met with an extremely helpful gentleman in my nearest branch. It was during my lunch break so the timing was perfect. You could tell by how helpful he was that this was a bank who values their customers - and who add value to their customers through reward of loyalty. My misconceptions of having to spend so much time to manually change my direct debits were explained clearly. Halifax did all of the hard work! With such a busy life, it was a nice feeling one of the most important parts of it was being professionally handed. Over a year on and I have received £5 per month from Halifax just for making sure my wages went into the account. And as for the £100 bonus for switching...well I still remember the last minute deal for a couples weekend my partner and I had! Thank you, Halifax! Reviewed on: 11th January 2015

Reward Current Account - useless reward tracker

The Reward Current Account pays a £5 a month reward for (amongst other requirements) make £500 of debit card payments each month, which is pretty decent. The app has a reward tracker so that you can keep track of progress. Except the tracker is absolutely useless. It is not updated in real time, or anything like it. Right now, on 1 May, it is showing progress only up to 21 April. The only option is to go through the tedious process of totting up the payments manually. It's been this way for months, if not years.

Myself and my family use Halifax. The app is amazing and the bank still exist on the high street Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025

Great for everything

We have all our accounts and insurance through Halifax. It's great being able to see everything online at the same time. The extras that you get with the reward account are so handy like the RAC/AA, phone insurance etc. Reviewed on: 12th February 2025

Own to issues immedcately

I have a Rewards account and this month, for some reason, the rewards did not register. I got through to customer services speedily who owned the issue immedictely (no gaslighting like other banks) and compensated me. Top class service Reviewed on: 2nd February 2025

Reward yourself with a cost effective current account!

An account with some great benefits such as multi - trip travel insurance, mobile phone and car breakdown insurance too - definitely a cost effective current account! If I had to buy all of the benefits separately it would cost me a fortune! Reviewed on: 10th October 2024

Great current account

Great current account, if you meet the criteria you can get a £5 per month reward which is a nice little bonus. Reviewed on: 25th August 2024
