Animal Friends offers competitive rates and good customer service. I would only like to feedback that they could provide more information as to the options available. We went for the minimum as things get very confusing when it comes to insurance and, unfortunately, we ended up paying £1,500 for our cat to have an operation that wasn't covered on the insurance.

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
